Abstract

The oxidation of 8-bromo-5H-benzo[a]cycloheptene with some oxidation reagents was studied. 2,3- and 4,5-benzotropone derivatives were obtained. The structures of the bromobenzotropones were determined by 1H- and 13C-NMR data.

Özet

The oxidation of 8-bromo-5H-benzo[a]cycloheptene with some oxidation reagents was studied. 2,3- and 4,5-benzotropone derivatives were obtained. The structures of the bromobenzotropones were determined by 1H- and 13C-NMR data.

Keywords: Tropone, benzotropone, bromobenzotropone, selenium dioxide and chromium trioxide oxidation.
