Conjugate addition of organolithium reagents to α,β-unsaturated carboxylic acids
摘要:
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 alpha-carbon strongly decreases reactivity, whereas deprotonation of the starting acid occurs almost exclusively with methyl substitution at the beta-carbon of the 2-alkenoic acid.

Conjugate addition of primary, secondary, tertiary alkyl and phenyl lithium reagents to 2-alkenoic acids affords good yields of branched saturated carboxylic acids. Methyl groups at the alpha- and beta-carbon of the 2-alkenoic acid decrease reactivity as accepters, and foster deprotonation, respectively. The lithium enediolate resulting from the conjugate addition can react with electrophiles. PM3 calculations are in agreement with the substituent effects. (C) 1998 Published by Elsevier Science Ltd.
