Reaction Steps

A solution of 41.0 g of methyl 1-cyano-2-(1-methylethenyl)cyclopropane-1-carboxylate in 300 ml of toluene was passed through a pyrolysis column packed with glass helices and held at 425° C. A nitrogen flow rate was chosen which resulted in a contact time of 1-2 sec and the pyrolysate was collected in a dry ice-isopropyl alcohol cooled flask. The toluene solution was washed with 300 ml of saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate and 300 ml of saturated sodium chloride solution, dried (MgSO4), and concentrated in vacuo to leave 32.5 g of brown oil. Distillation of the oil gave 30.4 g of the desired product as a yellow oil: b.p. 75°-100° (0.05 mm Hg).
