Low stability of cyclopropene-3-carboxylic esters toward nucleophilic attack by potassium tert-butoxide was previously reported, see: Kudrevich, S. V.; Rubin, M. A.; Tarabaeva, O. G.; Surmina, L.

69. While all the cyclopropenes used in this work have a methyl group at C3, there is no indication that the presented synthetic method is limited to this particular type of substrate. Those reported here were chosen for these studies because they were the most readily available model compounds.
