Phosphonate reagents were developed for the two-carbon homologation of aldehydes or ketones to unbranched- or methyl-branched α,β- unsaturated aldehydes. The phosphonate reagents, diethyl methylformyl-2- phosphonate dimethylhydrazone and diethyl ethylformyl-2-phosphonate dimethylhydrazone, contained a protected aldehyde group instead of the usual ester group. A homologation cycle entailed condensation of the reagent with the starting aldehyde, followed by removal of the dimethylhydrazone protective group with a biphasic mixture of 1 M HCl and petroleum ether. This robust two-step process worked with a variety of aldehydes and ketones. Overall isolated yields of unsaturated aldehyde products ranged from 71% to 86% after the condensation and deprotection steps.

Condensation of N,N-dimethylhydrazine, an aldehyde in lithium perchlorate/diethylether solution (5.0 M) gave N,N-dimethylhydrazone, which were treated with trimethylsilylcyanide to afford α-C-cyanohydrazine. These compounds are important precursors of nitrogen-substituted reagents.

Lithiated α,β-unsaturated aldehyde N,N-dimethylhydrazones reacted with alkyl halides accompanied by double bond migration to give α-alkylated β,γ-unsaturated aldehyde N,N-dimethylhydrazones in satisfactory yields.This reaction was found to be caused at the first step by deprotonation from a γ-carbon atom by lithium diisopropylamide.In the case of hydrazones with two kinds of γ-protons, deprotonation from the less hindered γ-carbon occurred selectively.Using this reaction, a novel sesquiterpene, 2,5,9-trimethyl-2-vinyl-4,8-decadienal, which has a vinyl group at the α-position, was synthesized in a good yield.
