PROCESS FOR PREPARING CYCLOPROPANE CARBOXYLIC ACIDS AND INTERMEDIATES FOR APPLYING THE PROCESS

摘要

The invention relates to a process for preparing cyclopropane carboxylic acids and to intermediates for applying said process. The process is accomplished in several steps thereby forming some intermediates which are finally converted into cyclopropane carboxylic acids, predominantly as Z-isomer both in optically pure and racemic form, the metallic zinc being permanently maintained in reaction.
