Abstract
Abstract A new and simple procedure for the synthesis of heptamethyl cyclohepta-1,3,5-triene-1,2,3,4,5,6,7-heptacarboxylate in a 51% yield is presented. An optimization of the reaction conditions was performed, and a convenient protocol for the isolation of the reaction product was developed. The structure of the key electrophilic intermediate was determined by means of NMR spectroscopy, and a plausible reaction mechanism is proposed.
