N2  - Lithium naphthalenide reacts with crotonic acid in the presence of diethyl-amine to give the &#945;-anion of lithium crotonate. The reaction of this anion with various ketones gives the corresponding hydroxy acids in good yield. For example, from cyclohexanone and crotonic acid, &#969;-(1?-hydroxycyolohex-1'-yl)crotonic acid was obtained.
