Procedure

A solution containing 0.34 gram (0.006 mole) of potassium hydroxide and 0.109 gram (0.006 mole) of water in 80 milliliters of ethanol was prepared in a 250 milliliter round bottom flask. With cooling to a temperature of 0° C. in an ice/NaCl bath and stirring, a solution of ethyl 1-(2-methyl-4,5-dichlorophenylaminocarbonyl)cyclopropanecarboxylate prepared in Example III in a small volume of ethanol was added and the mixture allowed to stir with warming to room temperature over a 72 hour period. The mixture was vacuum evaporated to give a white solid residue which was dissolved in water and extracted twice with ether. The ether extracts were discarded. The water solution was acidified to a pH of 2 with 25% Hcl solution causing separation of a solid which was taken up into ether, and the acidified aqueous phase was extracted four times. The combined ether extracts were dried over magnesium sulfate and vacuum evaporated to give a white solid. This white solid was water-washed and dried in a vacuum oven to give 1.85 grams (0.006 mole) of 1-(2-methyl-4,5-dichlorophenylaminocarbonyl)cyclopropanecarboxylic acid having a melting point of 248° C.-251° C.
