Reaction Steps

4,7-Difluoro-1a,2,3,7b-tetrahydro-1H-cyclopropa[a]naphthalene-1-carboxylic acid was synthesized analogously to Example 12e from ethyl 4,7-difluoro-1a,2,3,7b-tetrahydro-1H-cyclopropa[a]naphthalene-1-carboxylate (0.45 g, 1.8 mmol) by stepwise hydrolysis first with excess of NaOH at r.t. and then with the excess of NaOH at heating (60° C., 1.5 h) to give 80 mg of product as white crystals (cis/trans ratio 78:22 according to HPLC).
