Abstract

Triethylgallium deprotonated cyclic and acyclic ketones at 125-175° C without forming carbonyl addition products, and the resulting gallium enolates underwent facile C- benzoylation and an aldol reaction. Unsymmetrical ketones were preferentially enolized at the methylene moiety, which was under kinetic control.
