2,2,2-Trifluoroethyl formate reacts rapidly at -78 °C with preformed ketone enolates to give α-formyl ketones in good yields with complete reversal of the regioselectivity of the classical Claisen reaction. The method also enables an α'-formylation of α,β-unsaturated ketones.

Ketones and thioesters undergo soft enolization and acylation with crude acid chlorides to provide 1,3-diketones and β-keto thioesters, respectively. The use of crude acid chlorides adds efficiency and cost reduction by avoiding the need to purify and/or purchase them. The process is conducted in a direct fashion in the presence of MgBr2ˇOEt2 and i-Pr2NEt without prior enolate formation.

Ketones undergo soft enolate formation and acylation on treatment with MgBr2ˇOEt2, i-Pr2NEt, and various acylating agents to give 1,3-diketones. A particularly simple and efficient acylation with N-acylbenzotriazoles and O-Pfp esters can be conducted in untreated, reagent-grade CH2Cl2 open to the air.

A broad range of aryl and alkyl-substituted tertiary amides react with ketones in the presence of LiHMDS to give the corresponding 1,3-diketone products in very good yields at room temperature under transition-metal-free conditions. N-Tosyl-, N-triflyl-, N-mesyl-, and N-Boc-substituted tertiary amides showed good activity. The reaction offers good functional group tolerance and scalability.

Treatment of an γ-acyloxy-α,β-unsaturated ketone with bis(iodozincio)methane leads to a novel tandem reaction consisting of three steps: 1,4-addition of the dizinc reagent to the enone, intramolecular nucleophilic attack by the enolate on the ester group, and Grob-type fragmentation of the adduct to give 1,3-diketones efficiently.

Substituted 1,3-diketones were synthesized from α,β-unsaturated ketones by treatment with acid chlorides and Et2Zn in the presence of RhCl(PPh3)3. The reaction offers a very simple and chemoselective acylation at the α-position of α,β-unsaturated ketones.

A tandem addition of two molecules of zinc alkanoate to a carbonyl compound gives a series of δ-hydroxy-β-ketoesters. The key to accelerate such a double Reformatsky reaction is considered to be a complex-induced proximity effect of the in situ generated zinc alkoxide coordinated with a bidentate amine. A feature of the reaction system is its high tolerance of functional groups due to the moderate nucleophilicity of organozinc reagents.
