When carboxylic acid reacts with organolithium reagentss to give ketones , side sometimes occur. For example,
`HOCH_(2)CH_(2)overset(CH_(3))overset(|)(CH)CH_(2)CH_(2)overset(O)overset(||)(C)OH underset("tetrahydro furan")overset((x) CH_(3)Li)rarr underset(H_(2))overset(NH_(4)Cl)rarr`
`underset("Compound A" 63%)(HOCH_(2)CH_(2))overset(CH_(3))overset(|)(CH)CH_(2)CH_(2)-overset(O)overset(||)(C)-CH_(3)+underset(37%)("compound(B)")`
