New synthetic methods are described for the preparation of (E)-3, (E)-4, and (E)-5-alkenoic acids by the regio- and stereoselective ring opening of β, γ, and δ-lactones with unsaturated substituents at the ω-position using organocopper reagents such as halomagnesium diorganocuprates or Grignard reagents in the presence of copper(I) iodide.Both the organocopper reagents with primary, secondary, tertiary alkyl, and phenyl groups gave the corresponding carbon homologated alkenoic acids in good yields.Alkadienoic acids were also obtained in good yields by the reactions of ω-alkenyllactones with divinyl- and diallylcuprates.Utilizing the ring opening of β-isopropenyl-β-propiolactone, homoterpenoid carboxylic acids were easly obtained in good yields.The ring opening of β-(1-chlorovinyl)-β-propiolactone afforded 4-chloro-3-alkenoic acids which were easly transformed to 4-oxoalkanoic acids and 4-oxo-2-alkenoic acids.
REGIOSELECTIVITY OF β-VINYL-β-PROPIOLACTONE TOWARD VARIOUS NUCLEOPHILES

Regioselectivity in the reaction of β-vinyl-β-propiolactone with various nucleophiles was found to depend on the hard and soft acid and base (HSAB) principle.A hard base such as methoxide ion attacked the acyl carbon exclusively, while the nucleophilic at
