A suspension of this compound (7.00 g, 43.2 mmol) and para-toluenesulfonic acid monohydrate (0.82 g, 4.3 mmol) in toluene (100 ml) was refluxed for 1 hour with the azeotropic removal of water. The resulting solution was diluted with ethyl acetate, then washed with saturated sodium hydrogen carbonate solution, dried over MgSO4, filtered and evaporated to give 6,7-dihydro-5H-benzocycloheptene as a brown liquid (5.5 g, 88% yield).
