A solution of n-butyl lithium in hexane (1.59N, 44.0 ml, 70.0 mmol) was added to a solution of dimethyl methylphosphonate (8.74 g, 70.0 mmol) in anhydrous THF (130 ml) cooled at -78° C. under argon atmosphere, and the mixture was stirred for 30 minutes. To this reaction mixture was added a solution of methyl 2-methyl-2-phenylpropionate (5.00 g, 28.0 mmol) in anhydrous THF (15 ml) at -78° C. The mixture was stirred for 2 hours, allowed to warm to room temperature and neutralized with acetic acid. The reaction mixture was diluted with water (10 ml), and concentrated. The residue was combined with ethyl acetate (100 ml) and water (30 ml). The separated organic layer was washed with water (30 ml) and brine, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, and concentrated. The residue was distilled (b.p. 135°-141° C./0.05 mmHg) to give an oil of dimethyl 3-methyl-2-oxo-3-phenylbuthylphosphonate (5.73 g, 21.2 mmol, 75.7%).
