N-(2,2-Dichloro-1-phenylalkylidene)isopropylamines were synthesized by deprotonation of N-(2,2-dichloro-1-phenylethylidene)-isopropylamine by lithium diisopropylamide and reaction of the resulting 3,3-dichloro-1-azaallylic anion with alkyl bromides or iodides. Acidic hydrolysis provides an easy access to 2,2-dichloro-1-phenyl-1-alkanones.
