Abstract
Cyclic and acyclic ketones were converted in three steps into 3-alkenoic acids, bearing a variety of substituents in the α -position. The sequence, involving ionization/elimination of a β-lactone, affords high yields of pure products uncontaminated with conjugated isomers. Support for an El-type mechanism is also provided.
