“…ketones (eqs 1 and 3), 19,20 αamino ketones, 21 ω-bromo ketones (eq 4), 10 imines (eqs 6 and 7), 22-24 imino ethers (eq 8), 25 carboxylic acids (eq 9), 26 carboxylic esters, 27 lactones, 28 amides, 29 lactams, 30 imides, 31 and nitriles 32 which may be alkylated or used in aldol condensations. Enolates of methyl ketones may be O-alkylated with Diethyl Phosphorochloridate to give enol phosphates which, upon β-elimination, afford terminal alkynes in high yields (eq 5).…”
