Abstract

A sequence involving bromination of dimethyl 1,3-cycloheptadiene-2,3-dicarboxylate (2) and subsequent double dehydrobromination provided an improved synthetic method for preparing dimethyl cyclohepta-1,3,5-triene-3,4-dicarboxylate (1). The mechanism for the dehydrobromination step is also discussed.
