Participants

Reaction Steps

1.1 gm of dl-trans 3,3-dimethyl-2-cyclopropylidenemethyl-1-cyclopropanecarboxylic acid were introduced into 5 cc of benzene and 0.55 cc of thionyl chloride were added over about 15 minutes. Next, the reaction mixture was agitated for 3 hours at room temperature, after which the solvent and the excess thionyl chloride were eliminated by distillation under reduced pressure to obtain 1.2 gm of raw dl-trans 3,3-dimethyl-2-cyclopropylidenemethyl-1-cyclopropanecarboxylic acid chloride. The product was utilized as such for the next step.
