γ-Substituted butyrolactones from acrolein and carbonyl compounds

Abstract
The lithiation of 3-chloropropanal diethyl acetal (easily prepared from acrolein) at –78 °C with lithium naphthalenide followed by reaction with various carbonyl compounds, and final oxidation with m-chloroperbenzoic acid leads to γ-substituted butyrolactones.
