Participants

Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of 2.25 g. of cyclopropane carboxylic acid chloride in dry benzene, under nitrogen, is added 8 g. of 1-dodecanol. The mixture is stirred overnight and then diluted with pentane. The reaction mixture is worked up by washing with water and brine and then removing the solvent to yield dodecyl cyclopropanecarboxylate, b.p. 99°-100° (bath) at 0.03 mm. (I; p" is zero, R is n-dodecyl).
