A solution of ethyl 2-carboethoxy-3-methoxy-2-pentenoate (11.00 g, 47.77 mmol) in ethanol (40 ml) was stirred under ice-cooling. To the mixture was added a formamidine acetic acid salt (5.96 g, 57.25 mmol), followed by addition of an aqueous solution of potassium hydroxide (85% potassium hydroxide 6.94 g (105.13 mmol)/water 40 ml). Then, the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 16 hours and the pH was adjusted to 7 by adding acetic acid.
