Versuchsvorschrift
To a vigorously-stirred solution of 31.0 g of cyclopropanecarboxylic acid in 330 ml of ether is added a solution of n-butyllithium (748 mmoles) in ca. 750 ml. of 2:1 ether-hexane during 1 hour at 5-10° C. The resulting suspension is diluted with 300 ml of ether and stirred at room temperature for 2 hours and at reflux for 2 hours. The mixture is cooled and poured into several portions of 1:1 ice - 4N hydrochloric acid. The ethereal phases are combined and washed with brine, sodium carbonate solution, and brine. The extract is dried over magnesium sulfate and concentrated. The residue is distilled to provide a liquid, b.p. 102°-104° C. (80 mm), pmr spectrum (CDCl3):δ2.55 (triplet, --CH2CO--).
