Abstract
This invention relates to a method of producing a dibenzocycloheptene compound of the structure ##STR1## in high yields which comprises: (a) hydrogenating an anthracene derivative in the 9,10 position to form a 9,10-dihydroanthracene derivative, (b) selectively mono-carbonylating one of the hydrogens in the 9,10 position to form a monoaldehyde, (c) reducing the aldehyde to form the corresponding alcohol and (d) dehydrating and expanding the center ring to form the dibenzocycloheptene compound.
