After cooling, the solution was continuously extracted with ether for 18 h. The ether was removed at reduced pressure, leaving a yellow oil, which crystallized on standing and proved to be the title acid (111 g, 97%), which was characterized by conversion to its ethyl ester, whose physical properties were in accord with literature data: 1H NMR (CCl4) ? 4.17 (2 H, q, J = 7 Hz), 3.27 (5 H, m), 1.27 (3 H, t, J = 7 Hz); 13C NMR (CCl4) 201.48 (C3), 173.21 (CO2), 60.57 (OCH2), 51.20 (C2 and C4), 27.09 (C1), 14.09 (CH3).
