To this suspension was added diiodomethane (2.5 mL, 31 mmol) in dichloromethane (5 mL) dropwise over a period of 10 min. The resulting solution was stirred at 0° C. for 30 min, at which time ethyl 4-methyl-4-pentenoate (2.0 g, 14 mmol) was added. The mixture was stirred at 0° C. for 30 min and then at ambient temperature for 18 h. The reaction was quenched by addition of saturated aqueous ammonium chloride (50 mL). The organic layer was separated and washed with water (50 mL), dried (MgSO4), filtered, and the solvents were removed under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by flash column chromatography using 5% EtOAc-hexanes as eluant to give ethyl 3-(1-methyl-cyclopropyl)propanoate as a colorless liquid.
