Abstract

Treatments of 3-isopropenyltropolone with quarternary ammonium tribromides in tetrahydrofuran afforded 3-methyl-8H-cyclohepta [b] furan-8-one. The reactions in methanol– dichloromethane gave 7-bromo-3-methyl-8H-cyclohepta [b] furan-8-one. Bromination of 3- acetyltropolone with the tribromides in tetrahydrofuran produced 3-(bromoacetyl) tropolone, while the reaction in the methanolic solvent gave 7-bromo-and 5, 7-dibromo-substituted 3- ...
