To a solution of the mixture of methyl cyclopylacrylate and methyl 3-cyclopropyl-3-methoxypropionate (59.6 g, from Example 1, Example 2, Example 3 or Example 4) in methanol (120 ml) was added potassium carbonate (32.24 g) and stirred for 13 hours at room temperature. After addition of hexane, the upper hexane's layer was separated, filtered and concentrated.
