Procedure

To diisopropylamine (808 mg, 8.0 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (3 mL) was added n-butyllithium (4.0 mL, 2.0 N in hexanes, 8.0 mmol) at −78° C. followed by the addition of nitromethane (300 mg, 4.0 mmol). The mixture was stirred for 10 min and (Z)-6,7-dihydro-5H-benzo[7]annulene (288 mg, 2.0 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (1 mL) was added. The mixture was warmed to room temperature for 10 minutes and stirred at room temperature for 4 hours. Water was added and the mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate. The crude material was purified by silica gel column chromatography eluting with ethyl acetate to afford the title compound. 1H NMR (500 MHz, DMSO-d6) δ ppm 7.14 (m, 2H), 7.07 (m, 2H), 3.55 (dd, J=17.4, 10.0 Hz, 1H), 3.21 (t, J=8.1 Hz, 1H), 2.97 (t, J=8.3 Hz, 1H), 2.75 (td, J=12.7, 6.9 Hz, 1H), 2.56 (m, 1H), 2.38 (dt, J=11.1, 5.6 Hz, 1H), 2.36 (m, 1H), 2.26 (s, 3H), 1.66 (m, 2H), 1.44 (m, 1H), 1.33 (dd, J=13.7, 6.4 Hz, 1H), and 0.87 (m, 1H); MS (ESI+) m/z 202 [M+H]+.
