摘要

The bishomoenolate dianion of 4-(phenylsulfonyl) butanoic acid was investigated. It was observed that the dianion could be generated in greater than 95% yield with 200 mol% of n- BuLi at certain concentrations. The dianion was reacted with a variety of aldehydes to afford, after cyclization, substituted tetrahydropyran-2-ones (lactones). These derivatives were reductively eliminated to afford methyl 4-butenoates in yields of 56-8570.
