Abstract

A process for the production or R,S-2,2-dimethylcyclopropanecarboxylic acid starting from isobutylene oxide and a phosphonoacetic acid trialkyl ester. In this way, first the R,S-2,2-dimethylcyclopropanecarboxylic acid-C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkyl ester is formed, which then is hydrolyzed to the corresponding acid. R,S-2,2-Dimethylcyclopropanecarboxylic acid is an important intermediate product for the production of S-(+)-2,2-dimethylcyclopropanecarboxamide.
