## Abstract Acid‐catalysed decomposition of tropyl ether gives tropone and cycloheptatriene in 83.5 and 90 % yields, respectively. Chlorination of tropone in carbon tetrachloride solution yields tropone dichloride, which can be made to isomerize to the hydrochloride of 2‐chlorotropone; 2‐chlorotro

✦ Synopsis
Abstract
Interaction of tropone and phenylmagnesium bromide yields 2‐phenyl‐2,7‐dihydrotropone (II). This compound is in thermal equilibrium with 2‐phenyl‐6,7‐dihydrotropone (III) in a 1: 4 ratio.
The reaction of 2‐chlorotropone with isopropylmagnesium bromide yields a mixture of chloroisopropyldihydrotropones, which upon dehydrochlorination gives rise to 2‐isopropyltropone. This compound may be converted into 3‐isopropyltropolone (α‐thujaplicine).
