Application
Oxidative Umpolung α‑Alkylation of Ketones

Typical Procedure: (R1 = Ph, R2 = CO2Et, R3 = CH3): Ethyl 3-oxo-3-phenylpropanoate (0.58 mmol, 110 mg, 1 eq.) is dissolved in anhydrous toluene (1.45 mL) under an argon atmosphere. After cooling to -78 °C, [hydroxy(tosyloxy)iodo]benzene (1.16 mmol, 0.45 g, 2 eq.) and dried MgSO4 (2.9 mmol, 0.35 g, 5 eq.) are added in the dark. Then a solution of dimethylzinc in toluene (1.2 M, 1.16 mmol, 0.97 mL, 2 eq.) is added at once. The mixture is allowed to stir at -78 °C for 18 h, in the dark. The reaction is quenched by addition of water, followed by filtration of the slurry through a Celite frit and rinsed with CH2Cl2. The product is purified by a column chromatography (eluent: 5-15% of EtOAc/hexane) to give ethyl 2-methyl-3-oxo-3-phenylpropanoate as an oil (110 mg, 92% yield).
