The reaction mixture was heated for 21/2 hours under reflux and then filtered while hot. The n-octane was evaporated from the filtrate under vacuum to produce a residue which was dissolved in ethyl acetate. The solution was washed successively with aqueous 1 N hydrochloric acid, aqueous sodium bicarbonate, and aqueous sodium chloride. After drying the solution over magnesium sulfate, the ethyl acetate was removed by evaporation, yielding methyl (±)-4-trichloromethyl-6,6-dimethyl-2-oxo-3-oxabicyclo[3.1.0]-hexane-1-carboxylate (5.77 g, 96% yield) as an oil. Trituration of the oil with ether afforded the crystalline lactone; mp, 118°-120°.
