45. Theoretical calculations using different ab initio methods (STO-3G, 3-21G, 4-21G) underestimated the length of the central C=C bond in 2a, but semiempirical calculations by the MNDO method gave a surprisingly accurate prediction.

46. The normal reactivity of the parent bicyclobutylidene (2a) has been demonstrated by the addition of bromine, cheletropic cycloadditions of methylene, dibromocarbene, cyclopropylidene, cyclobutylidene, [2 + 2] cycloadditions of ketenes and even metathesis reactions: a) L.
