Abstract

Abstract α-(Methylene) alkanoic esters are prepared in high yields by substitution of α- (acetoxymethyl) acrylates using Grignard reagents in the presence of a catalytic amount of copper (I) salt. This reaction can be applied to lithium enolates of esters and ketones and to give functional α-(methylene) alkanoic esters, products of great interest for the synthesis of active biological compounds (sarkomycin, α-(methylene) δ-valerolactone).
