The biscyclopropylidene–methylenespiropentane interconversion. A non-planar trimethylenemethane intermediate

Abstract
The thermal reorganization of cis- and trans-2,2,2′,2′-tetramethylbiscyclopropylidene to a mixture of 2,2,4,4-tetramethylmethylenespiropentane and 4,4-dimethylisoprophylidenespiropentane is best rationalized in terms of a non-planar trimethylenemethane intermediate.
