Treatment of (dicarbonylmethylene)triphenylphosphoranes 1 with [(diethoxylphosphinoyl)methyl]lithium (2a) gave 3a, followed by protonation and elimination of triphenylphosphine oxide, to afford the Z-isomer exclusively (4b, 4e, 4f, 4g); while [(dialkoxyphosphinoyl)alkyl]lithium (2b) reacted with 1 under the same conditions, to give the E-isomers exclusively (4a, 4c, 4d) or predominantly (4h, 4i, 4j). Thus this methodology provides a stereocontrolled synthesis of the title compounds.
