Adding the right amount: The addition of Grignard nucleophiles to carboxylic acids is made difficult by the lower nucleophilicity of these abundant organometallics, the low electrophilicity of carboxylate anions, and the faster over-addition to any ketones produced. Herein we introduce a simple magnesium anilide additive that enhances the nucleophilicity of Grignardreagents towards aliphatic carboxylates
