Over a century ago, the first reactions of diazomethane with aldehydes delivered methyl ketones. In the interim, aldehydes have been homologated with trimethylsilyldiazomethane, diazoacetates, and aryldiazomethanes, on rare occasion with catalysis. This work describes a mild procedure for convergent ketone assembly from nonstabilized diazoalkanes, including examples of chiral ketone synthesis with
