A practical, robust, and high-yielding three-step鈭抩ne-pot procedure for the diastereoselective synthesis of (卤)-2-exo-norbornyl carboxylic acid starting from norbornylene has been found and demonstrated on multikilogram scale, setting a new benchmark for low-pressure hydroformylation of cyclic, bridged olefins. The newly found, nonhygroscopic crystalline sodium salt of this acid provides a practical isolation point.
