Abstract

Abstract Fourteen new alkyl 2-cyclopropylacrylates 1a− n with various substituents R 1− R 5 were synthesized from readily available precursors by applying standard transformations such as cyanohydrin formation from an aldehyde, alcoholysis to an α-hydroxycarboxylic ester, oxidation and Wittig methylenation of an α-oxocarboxylic ester. Overall yields ranged from 33 to 54%. A new method for the hydrolysis of dimethyl cyclopropanedicarboxylates ...
