A new synthesis of the title compounds via acylation of α-lithio-α-phosphorylalkyl sulfides is described. Two additional approaches to these compounds, although less efficient, involve: (a) sulfenylation of O-silylated dialkyl β-ketophosphonates and (b) the Arbuzov reaction of triethyl phosphite with α-chloro-α- methylthiomethyl phenyl ketone. The keto-enol tautomerism of the title compounds and reactivity of the anions derived from them with electrophilic reagents were investigated. The P(O)-olefination products obtained from electron rich aromatic aldehydes were found to undergo the acid-catalyzed desulfenylation reaction affording α,β-unsaturated ketones.
