Preparation 3 5,6,8,9-tetrahydro-benzocyclohepten-7-one (compound having the formula II) The isomeric mixture of dimethyl 7-oxo-5,6,8,9-tetrahydrobenzocycloheptene-6,8-dicarboxylate (80 g) obtained according to preparation 2 is refluxed in a 3M aqueous sulphuric acid (300 mL) and acetonitrile (50 mL) solution overnight under argon. The mixture is diluted with diethyl ether, neutralized with a 2M aqueous sodium hydroxide solution (3*300 mL), dried on magnesium sulphate and evaporated to dryness. The residue is distilled off at 97-98° C. under 0.4-0.5 Torr to obtain colourless crystals (26.1 g, 84% from α,α'-dibromo-o-xylene). Melting point: 43-44° C. 1H-NMR (CDCl3): 7.23 (m, 4 Har); 2.91 (m, 2H-C(6), 2H-C(8)); 2.62 (m, 2H-C(5), 2H-C(9)).
