Procedure

Diethyl 1,1-cyclopropane dicarboxylate (20 g) was hydrolyzed in 1N NaOH (107 ml) and ethanol (220 ml) for 16 hours, and the ethanol was removed by distillation under reduced pressure. The remaining starting material was removed by using ethyl acetate and the aqueous layer was acidified by 1N HCl. The reaction mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate and distilled under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by silica gel column to give the title compound in a yield of 94%.
