α-Diphenylphosphinoyl ketones are selectively and sequentially alkylated at the α-position. Double lithiation and selective alkylation occurs at the less stabilised γ-position. Dephosphinoylation of the alkylation products gives ketones. Mono-alkylation is selective, highly crystalline intermediates are formed and a one-pot strategy is possible. The method is ideally suited for the preparation of acid-sensitive ketones. The Royal Society of Chemistry 2006.
