Abstract

The 2-hydroxycyclopentanecarboxylic acids, reported previously as liquids, have been isolated in solid form. Derivatives have been prepared. A study of some of their physical constants led to the assignment of cis-configuration to the acid melting at 52-53.4"(cor.), and of trans to the acid melting at 68.3-69.0"(cor.).
