A new method for preparing α-branched enones from carboxylic acid derivatives is reported. The procedure commenced by the reaction of N,O-dimethylamides with a masked acyl anion equivalent, followed by the addition of (trimethylsilyl-methyl)cerium dichloride to give intermediates that undergo Lewis acid mediated olefination to produce enol ethers that are then hydrolyzed to afford simple α-branched enones in high overall yields.
