Dibenzocycloheptene (also known as dibenzosuberane and dibenzocycloheptadiene) is a tricyclic chemical compound featuring two benzene rings bound to a cycloheptene group. It is an occasional motif in synthetic organic chemistry.{{cite journal|doi=10.1021/ja993297d|title=C2-Symmetric Dibenzosuberane-Based Helicenes as Potential Chirochromic Optical Switches|year=2000|last1=Chen|first1=Chien-Tien|last2=Chou|first2=Y-Chen|journal=Journal of the American Chemical Society|volume=122|issue=32|pages=7662–7672}} Various tricyclic antidepressants (TCAs) contain the dibenzocycloheptene moiety in their chemical structures, including amineptine, amitriptyline, amitriptylinoxide, butriptyline, demexiptiline, nortriptyline, noxiptiline, and protriptyline. Cyclobenzaprine, a skeletal muscle relaxant, also contains this functional group.
