After removal of the solvent, the residue (0.25 g)
was a mixture of lactones IVf and VI at a ratio of

1-Phenylbicyclo[4.1.0]heptane-exo-7-carboxylic
acid (VIII). A solution of 8 g (0.07 mol) of ethyl
diazoacetate in 5 ml of octane was added over a period
of 1 h with stirring under nitrogen to a mixture of
15.8 g (0.1 mol) of 1-phenylcyclohexene and 50 mg
of anhydrous copper sulfate in 10 ml of octane, heated
to 125 C. When the addition was complete, the mix-
ture was heated for an additional 10 min (until
nitrogen no longer evolved). The mixture was cooled,
8 g of potassium hydroxide in 150 ml of ethanol was
added, and the mixture was heated for 3 h under
reflux with stirring, cooled, and diluted with 300 ml
of water. Volatile organic substances were removed
by steam distillation, and the still residue was con-
centrated to a volume of 100 ml and acidified to
pH 1 by adding dilute sulfuric acid on cooling. The
precipitate was filtered off and repeatedly recrystal-
lized from aqueous methanol. Yield of acid VIII 2.1 g
Methyl 1-phenylbicyclo[4.1.0]hept-2-ene-exo-7-

a. Freshly distilled chlorotrimethylsilane (bp 57 C),
0.12 g (1.1 mmol), sodium iodide, 0.15 g (1 mmol),
and water, 18 mg (1 mmol), were added to a solution
of 0.21 g (1 mmol) of acid III in 25 ml of benzene.
The mixture was stirred for 10 h, washed with a solu-
tion of sodium thiosulfate and with water, and dried
over anhydrous magnesium sulfate. After removal
of the solvent, the residue was purified by flash
chromatography on silica gel using hexane methylene
chloride (6:1) as eluent. Yield 0.17 g (78%). Oily
