Synthesis of dl- cis-2-Fluorocyclopropanecarboxylic Acid (dl-

).
To a solution of trans-6b (660 mg, 2.20 mmol) in ethanol (11
mL) were added magnesium powder (160 mg, 6.59 mmol) and HgCl2
25.8 mg, 9.50 μmol); the mixture was stirred at room temperature for
6 h. The mixture was poured into a mixture of water (10 mL) and 0.5
(
1
mol/L aqueous HCl solution (1 mL), the resulting mixture was
extracted with pentane. The organic extracts were dried over
anhydrous sodium sulfate, filtered, and then concentrated in vacuo
(45 °C, 756 mmHg) to give crude tert-butyl cis-2-fluorocyclopropa-
necarboxylate (418 mg). To a solution of the crude ester (418 mg) in
tetrahydrofuran (6 mL) was added a 10% aqueous HCl solution (1.5
mL), the mixture was heated under reflux for 6 h. After dilution of the
mixture with ethyl acetate (10 mL) and water (10 mL), the mixture
was extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was extracted with
saturated sodium hydrogen carbonate solution, and the aqueous layer
was washed with ethyl acetate. The aqueous layer was adjusted to pH 5
by a 10% aqueous HCl solution, and the resulting mixture was
extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic extracts were dried over
anhydrous sodium sulfate, filtered, and then concentrated in vacuo.
Flash chromatography (silica, hexane/ethyl acetate = 1:1) of the
residue gave dl-1 as colorless solid (185 mg, 78%). An analytic sample

boxylate (trans-6b) and tert-Butyl cis-2-Fluoro-2-(phenylsulfonyl)-

was obtained by flash chromatography (silica, hexane/ethyl acetate =

cis-6b was further separated by HPLC [Kanto Mightysil, si 60 (5 μ), ϕ
