Bredt's rule is a guideline in organic chemistry that relates to the structure of certain bicyclic compounds, particularly those containing a double bond in a bridgehead position. The rule states that: **In bicyclic compounds, a double bond cannot be formed at the bridgehead atoms (the atoms at the ends of the bridges connecting two cycles) unless the bridgehead is part of a ring containing more than four atoms.
