Procedure: 2.8 g of a 60% suspension of sodium hydride in mineral oil are added in portions to a solution of 5.0 g of hydroxymethylcyclopropane in 25 ml of toluene at room temperature. The mixture is then heated at 100° C. for 2 hours. After this, it is allowed to reach room temperature and a solution of 14.9 g of 1,4-dibromobutane in 15 ml of toluene is added. The mixture is left to stir at 100° C. for a further 15 hours. Then, at room temperature, 10 ml of water are added, the phases are separated, and the toluene is removed in a rotary evaporator. The product is isolated by vacuum distillation. to reach room temperature The mixture is left the phases are separated the toluene is removed in a rotary evaporator The product is isolated by vacuum distillation
