α-Methylation of ketones with methanol catalyzed by a cheap and easy to handle Ni/SiO2-Al2O3 was explored. After optimization of the reaction between propiophenone and methanol, the desired product was obtained in 95 % isolated yield. A wide range of ketones was methylated under the optimized conditions (16 examples). This procedure was extended to a three-component cross-benzylation-methylation of acetophenone.

A variety of α-diphenylmethylsilyl esters have been prepared and reacted with Grignard reagents.The reaction is relatively slow in refluxing THF and can be controlled to allow the addition of 1 equiv of the Grignard reagent, providing the corresponding β-keto silane.Protiodesilylation of the β-keto silane results in the overall conversion of an ester to a ketone.This ester to ketone methodology has been applied to a two-step synthesis of the pheromone of the Douglas fir tussock moth.The β-keto silanes are viable precursors to regioselectively generated enol silyl ethers.The reaction of ethyl 2-methyl-2-(diphenylmethylsilyl)propionate with vinylmagnesium bromide or 2-methyl 1-propenylmagnesium bromide results in the addition of 2 equiv of the Grignard reagent, the second in a Michael fashion.
