Procedure

After an excess of 1-octene was distilled from the reaction mixture, the ethyl ester was isolated by distillation (b.p. 88° C./0.5 mmHg). Cis/trans=34/66 (according to gas chromatographic analysis); [α]D =+24.4° (neat, 1 dm). The ester was hydrolyzed with caustic potash to give 2-hexylcyclopropanecarboxylic acid (b.p. 110° C./0.5 mmHg). [α]D =+36.2° (c 5.0, chloroform).
