After hydrolysis of the ester groups, decarboxylation yielded the title quinone 6. The H-1 NMR spectrum of 6 in D2SO4 indicates generation of its protonated dicationic species., Article, HETEROCYCLES. 86(2):1541-1547 (2012)}, pages = {1541--1547}, title = {Synthesis of a Novel Non-Benzenoid Quinone, 3,10-Dihydro-2,4-dimethyl-7,13-methanocyclohepta[11]annulene-3,10-dione, from 8H-7,9-Bis(methoxycarbonyl)-5,11-methano[11]annuleno[c]furan-8-one}, volume = {86}, year = {2013} }
