Lithiated carbanions of allylic phosphonates 1 showed strict α-regioselectivity in their reaction with ethyl formate, giving stereoselectively (1E)-2-phosphonodienols 3b and 3d, or a mixture of 3c with its tautomeric aldehyde 4c, or the conjugated aldehyde 5 resulting from the prototropy of the enol 3a. All these compounds, obtained in high yields, were readily transformed into the corresponding stable O-acetylated derivatives 6 or into the O-silylated derivatives 7, whose stability depends on the silicon substituents.
