1.6 M n-Butyllithium in hexanes (3.2 mL, 5.1 mmol) was added drop-wise to a solution of 1-bromo-3-cyclopropyl-benzene at −78° C. and stirred for 1 hour. This reaction mixture was then transferred via canula to a 250 mL round bottom flask equipped with a stirrer bar approximately ¼ full of solid carbon dioxide and stirred and for 1 hour. The reaction mixture was concentrated and then the residue was diluted with water. The aqueous layer was washed with dichloromethane (3×), acidified with 1 N HCl to pH˜2, and extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic phase was washed with water and saturated brine, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, filtered and concentrated to afford 3-cyclopropyl-benzoic (356 mg, 43%, white solid).
