Abstract
Conjugate addition of primary, secondary, tertiary alkyl and phenyl lithium reagents to 2- alkenoic acids affords good yields of branched saturated carboxylic acids. Substitution by methyl groups at the α-carbon strongly decreases reactivity, whereas deprotonation of the starting acid occurs almost exclusively with methyl substitution at the β-carbon of the 2- alkenoic acid.
