Procedure
A solution of di-tert-butyl azodicarboxylate (115 g, 500 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (1000 mL) was added to a cooled (−78° C.) solution of cyclopropylmagnesium bromide (2 M, 1000 mL, 500 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran. The reaction mixture was stirred at −78° C. for 10 minutes, After which time it was quenched onto acetic acid (30 mL) and allowed to warm to room temperature. This mixture was partitioned between water (2000 mL) and ethyl acetate (1500 mL). The organic extract was dried over sodium sulphate, filtered, and evaporated under reduced pressure to give a solid, which was purified by column chromatography eluting with 3.33% ethyl acetate in pentane to give the title compound as a white solid (45 g, 33%). 1H-NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3): δ 0.65 (m, 4H), 1.30-1.50 (m, 18H), 2.70 (m, 1H).
