Participants

Reaction Steps

Cis 2-tribromoacetyl-3,3-dimethylcyclopropane carboxylic acid (0.2 mmol) prepared by a method analogous to that described in Example 1, was stirred for 10 minutes with a solution of sodium borohydride (0.8 mmol) in 5 ml water at room temperature for 16 hours and the crystalline reaction product was then filtered off and dried under reduced pressure at 40° C. The resulting product weighed 13 mg and contained 50% of the desired product, largely in the form of the endo isomer.
