(S)-γ-Trityloxymethyl-γ-butyrolactam (2) serves as a chiral auxiliary in the conjugate addition reaction of the corresponding imide (3) of α,β-unsaturated carboxylic acids with Grignard reagents in the presence of CuBr-SMe2 in THF to give, after hydrolysis, the β,β-disubstituted carboxylic acids (5) with predictable absolute configuration and high enantiomeric excess.
