A general method for the catalytic dimerization of ketoketenes is described. Tri-n-butylphosphine was found to be the optimal organocatalyst for the racemic reaction. When lithium iodide was used as an additive, the reaction was rendered selective for dimer formation (dimer/trimer >= 16:1). Ring-opening reactions of the ketoketene dimers as well as preliminary studies toward the development of an asymmetric variant are also reported.

ketoketenes has been explored and compared with that of the previously reported trialkylphosphite-mediated reactions. NMR studies of the PBu3-catalyzed reaction implicated the involvement of tetravalent phosphonium intermediates. Phosphonium intermediates in the catalytic cycle were trapped through reaction with trimethylsilyl chloride and 4-chlorobenzaldehyde, and the resulting products were characterized

A method for the regioselectivesynthesis of highlysubstitutedenolestersfromketoketenedimersβ-lactones is described. Methylphenylketene dimer was subjected to a sequential one-pot reaction sequence involving ring-opening with an organolithium to give an enolate intermediate, followed by enolate acylation with an acyl chloride to give a highlysubstitutedenolester as the final product.

The reaction of ketoketene dimers with organolithium reagents afforded 1,3-diketones in good to excellent yields, and with good diastereoselectivity in some cases.

Full details of optimisation studies of the phosphine-catalyzed ketene homodimerization reaction and the detailed development of an asymmetric variant are discussed. Studies towards the development of a phosphine-catalyzed ketene heterodimerization reaction are revealed. A discussion of possible reaction mechanisms for the dimerization reactions, supported by spectroscopic analysis of intermediates
