Reaction Steps

A solution of 5.5 g (43 mmoles) of 1,1-bis(hydroxymethyl)-2-vinylcyclopropane in 40 ml of pyridine was cooled to 0° and 18.5 g (130 mmoles; 15.2 ml) of benzoyl chloride was added dropwise over 15 minutes. The mixture was stirred at 22° for 2 hours. TLC in cyclohexane-EtOAc (4:1) indicated that the reaction was complete. The reaction mixture was treated with 8 ml of water and stirred at 22° for 20 hours. It was concentrated to a residual oil and redissolved in 150 ml of EtOAc and washed with 50 ml of water, three 50-ml portions of 2N HCl, four 50 ml portions of saturated NaHCO3, dried (MgSO4), filtered and concentrated to give 11 g (75%) of the title compound, Rf cyclohexane-ethyl acetate (4:1) 0.7.
