Cumulated Ylides XIX.1 Chain-lengthening Difunctionalization of Grignard Compounds by Reaction with Ketenylidenetriphenylphosphorane. A New Route to (E)-α,β- Unsatured Ketones and the Queen Substance2 The reaction of Grignard compounds with ketenylidenetriphenylphosphorane and subsequent hydrolysis yields 2-oxoalkylidenetriphenylphosphoranes. The latter undergo Wittig reaction, whereby (E-α,β-unsaturated ketones are obtained. An application of this strategy to the synthesis of carbonyl homologues of Lepidoptera pheromones and the queen substance is shown.
