Abstract Regioselectivity of alkylation of but-2-enoic acids 1 and 2 by alkyl halides strongly depends on the reactivity of the electrophile. High α selectivity results for saturated alkyl halides, whereas poor α-selectivity is obtained for highly reactive allyl and benzyl halides. For reactive alkylating halides selectivity is partly governed by the ion pairing aggregates of the dienediolates. Lithium bromide and the carboxylate generated in the ongoing reaction cause opposite effects on regioselectivity.
