The reaction mixture was stirred at rt for 3 days and then concentrated. The residue was partitioned between water and Et2O. The aq. layer was separated and acidified with 1N HCl resulting in the formation of a white solid. The solid was filtrated, washed with 5 mL dil. HCl and dried in vacuo to obtain 3.19 g of rac-(1R*,2R*,4R*)-(2-hydroxy-5-phenyl-bicyclo[2.2.2]oct-5-en-2-yl)-acetic acid as white solid.
