Various carbon radicals can be generated from carboxylic acids via the corresponding Barton esters.These radicals can be used for the synthesis of longer chain homologues of the original acids.

Reaction of substituted terminal olefins with carbon radicals generated carboxylic acids gives adducts that can be transformed to one carbon atom longer homo-acids in high overall yield. With 6b yields are very good and the conditions of hydrolysis exceptionally mild.
