A series of 1-vinyltricyclo[4.1.0.02,7]heptanes 4 has been obtained by Ni0-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions of the corresponding Grignard reagent with vinyl halides or via reaction of 4b with various electrophiles. Selected model compounds 4 were treated with tetracyanoethylene (TCNE), N-phenyl-1,2,4-triazoline-3,5-dione (PTAD), and dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate (DMAD). Product studies revealed
