Reaction Steps

The title compound was prepared based on a modified procedure of Shih and Rankin [Synthetic Communications, 1996, 26(4), 833-836]: To a mixture of cyclopropane-1,1-dicarboxylic acid (5.0 g, 38.4 mmol, 1.0 eq.) in anhydrous THF (50 mL) under nitrogen was added dropwise triethylamine (3.89 g, 38.4 mmol, 1.0 eq.) with stirring for 30 minutes at 0° C., followed by the addition of thionyl chloride (4.57 g, 38.4 mmol, 1.0 eq.) with stirring for another 30 minutes at 0° C. To the resulting mixture under nitrogen was added dropwise a solution of benzylamine 5 (4.53 g, 42.3 mmol, 1.1 eq.) in anhydrous THF (25 mL) with stirring for 1.5 hours at 0° C. The reaction mixture was diluted with ethyl acetate and extracted with 2N NaOH (to pH 10). The aqueous phase was titrated with 2N HCl to pH 1-2 and then extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic phase was dried with sodium sulfate and concentrated in vacuo to give 1-Benzylcarbamoyl-cyclopropanecarboxylic acid as a white solid (4.39 g, 52.15%). 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3): 8.44 (br s, 1H), 7.37-7.33 (m, 2H), 7.32-7.26 (m, 3H), 1.82-1.70 (m, 4H).
