Abstract

Abstract Electroreduction of cycloheptatriene or substituted cycloheptatrienes in the presence of an alkyl halide was found to be a unique and effective method for introducing regioselectively an alkyl group into seven-membered ring system and it was applied to a new synthesis of β-thujaplicin (hinokitiol).
