The reaction solution was poured into water, acidified with 1N hydrochloric acid and extracted twice with ethyl acetate. The collected organic layer was dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate and the solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure. The obtained residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (hexane/ethyl acetate=15/1) to give methyl 5-oxo-6,7,8,9-tetrahydro-5H-benzo[a]cycloheptene-6-carboxylate as a yellow liquid.
