Scope of olefination/hydrolysis of aldehydes.^a

^aFor olefination products, yield of purified product, reaction E/Z selectivity, and E/Z isomeric purity of purified product [brackets] are given. When E/Z selectivity was the same for the reaction and purified product, no bracketed ratio is given. For carboxylic acid products, yield of purified product is given followed by E/Z isomeric purity of product. E/Z ratio from ¹⁹F NMR of crude product (esters) and isolated product (acids). For detailed reaction conditions, see the Experimental Section.

^bOlefination was performed using MeMgBr as base.
