This reaction is useful for the stereoselective synthesis of α,β-unsaturated ketones. The reaction involves the condensation of a phosphonate (containing the heteroatom) with an aldehyde or ketone, followed by a base-catalyzed elimination to form the α,β-unsaturated ketone. The stereochemistry of the product can be controlled through the choice of the starting materials and reaction conditions.
