Procedure

To a suspension of 1.94 g (0.08 mol) of sodium hydride in 100 ml of tetrahydrofuran is added with stirring under argon dropwise a solution of 17 g (0.08 mol) of 2-(6-carboxyhexyl)cyclopent-2-en-1-one in 160 ml of tetrahydrofurn. After the addition is complete, the mixture is stirred for 1 hour 15 minutes. The mixture is cooled to 0° C. and 13 ml of oxalyl chloride is added. The mixture is stirred at 0° C. for 30 minutes and at room temperature for 30 minutes. The solution is diluted with 500 ml of ether and filtered through Celite. The solvent is removed from the filtrate and the residue is extracted with hot hexane twice. The hexane is removed to give 16.0 g of the title compound.
