We disclose a hypervalent iodine mediated ?±-alkylative umpolung reaction of carbonyl compounds with dialkylzinc as the alkyl source. The reaction is applicable to all common classes of ketones including 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds and regular ketones via their lithium enolates. The ?±-alkylated carbonyl products are formed in up to 93% yield. An ionic mechanism is inferred based on meticulous analysis, NMR studies, trapping and crossover experiments, and computational studies.

The reaction of tris(triphenylphosphine)rhodium chloride [RhCl(PPh 3)3] with diethylzinc (Et2Zn) easily afforded a rhodium-hydride complex that effects the 1,4-reduction of α,β- unsaturated esters to give rhodium enolates. Formation of the rhodium enolate is followed by transmetalation with the zinc species to give a Reformatsky-type reagent, and this reacts with various acid chlorides at the α-position to give β-keto esters. The Reformatsky-type reagent also reacts with various electrophiles such as aldehydes, ketones and acid anhydrides to give the corresponding products in which the electrophiles were introduced reductively at the α-position of α,β-unsaturated esters.
