Abstract
.alpha., .beta.-Unsaturated acids of the formula ##STR1## wherein R.sup.1 signifies C.sub.1 -C.sub.5 -alkyl and Ar signifies an aryl group which is optionally substituted by one or more substituents selected from the group consisting of halogen, phenyl, C.sub.1 -C.sub.5 -alkyl, C.sub.1 -C.sub.5 -alkoxy, perfluorinated C.sub.1 -C.sub.5 -alkyl or perfluorinated C.sub.1 -C.sub.5 -alkoxy can be obtained from new or known compounds of the formula ##STR2## Compounds I can be converted by asymmetric hydrogenation into corresponding optically active saturated acids.
