Dilithium carboxylic acid dianions 1 attack α,β-unsaturated aldehydes (2) 1,2-regiospecifically with formation of the unsaturated β-hydroxy carboxylic acids 3/4.Additionally, the addition of the phenylacetate dianion 1a can be conducted to the threo-isomer with high selectivity by reversible reaction. - α,β-Enones (8) add 1 irreversibly in 1,2- and 1,4-position.Depending on the substitution pattern, the whole range from pure 1,2- to pure 1,4-adduct is covered.The influence of the 1-counterion M and of the solvent is significant; the 1,4-portion increases with the complexing effect of M and with the Lewis-basicity of the solvent.
