A convenient and general microwave-assisted method for the synthesis of stereochemically defined α-methylalkenoic acids and esters from allylic phosphonium salts in a basic aqueous medium is described. A selective preparation of acids or esters was dependent on the base (NaOH or NaHCO 3) employed in the reaction and could be achieved with good to excellent yields under mild conditions in the absence of hydrides and reducing agents.
A facile one-pot stereoselective synthesis of trisubstituted (E)-2-methylalk-2-enoic acids from unactivated Baylis-Hillman adducts and a simple access to some important insect pheromones

An efficient one-pot stereoselective synthesis of trisubstituted (E)-2-methylalk-2-enoic acids has been accomplished by treatment of unactivated Baylis-Hillman adducts, 3-hydroxy-2-methylenealkanoates, with Al-NiCl2·6H2O in methanol at room temperature followed by hydrolysis. The method has been applied to the synthesis of three important insect pheromones, (4S,2E)-2,4-dimethyl-2-hexenoic acid, (+)-(S)-manicone and (+)-(S)-normanicone.
