The Michaeladdition of lithium 1,3-dien-2-olates with α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds is described. With α,β-unsaturated esters the reaction was reversible even at −78°C, while kinetically controlled with α,β-unsaturated ketones or alkylidenemalonates. At room temperature, the initially formed Michael adducts undergo subsequent intramolecular Michaeladdition to give substituted cyclohexanone derivatives
