Cycloheptatriene (CHT) has been directly transformed to 7-methoxycycloheptatriene (7-MCHT), an equivalent compound to a tropolium salt, by the anodic oxidation of CHT in methanol.The further anodic oxidation of 3-MCHT prepared from 7-MCHT has been found to be an effective method of synthesis of tropone and tropolone.
CYCLOHEPTATRIENYL-PHOSPHORUS DERIVATIVES. AN ABNORMAL PHOSPHONIUM SALT HYDROLYSIS.

A variety of cycloheptatrienyl-phosphorus derivatives have been prepared.In no case was evidence obtained of contribution from norcaradiene forms.Attempts to prepare the corresponding ylide from cycloheptatrienyltriphenylphosphonium salts led to substitution of phospine, as did reactions with a variety of nucleophiles, including hydroxide ion where the observed reaction is in conflict with earlier reports.
