The mixture was heated at reflux for 16 h, cooled and extracted into DCM. The organic extracts were concentrated to give tricyclo[8.2.1.03,8]trideca-3(8),4,6-trien-13-one (130 mg) as a white crystalline solid. 1H NMR (CDCl3, 360 MHz) δ 7.19 (4 H, s, aromatic), 2.99-2.86 (4 H, m, benzylic), 2.61-2.57 (2 H, m, bridgehead H), 1.90-1.80 (2 H, m), 1.33-1.26 (2 H, m).
