Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 1.6 g of (1R,cis)2,2-dimethyl-3[(Z)3-oxo-3-benzyloxy-1-propenyl]-cyclopropane carboxylic acid, 10 ml of isoprene and 1 ml of thionyl chloride was stirred for 5 hours under a current of nitrogen and then was concentrated to obtain 2 g of (1R,cis)2,2-dimethyl-3[(Z)3-oxo-3-benzyloxy-1-propenyl]-cyclopropane-carboxylic acid chloride which was concentrated to obtain 2 g of (1R,cis)2,2-dimethyl-3-[(Z)3-oxo-3-benzyloxy-1-propenyl]-cyclopropane-carboxylic acid chloride which was used as is in the following step.
