By masking α‐haloketones 1 as α‐haloalkylidenamines 2 , the α‐alkylation of haloketones becomes possible even when hydrogen atoms are present in the α′ position. The anions 3 , obtained by the use of lithium diisopropylamide, react with alkyl halides at room temperature to form exclusively C ‐alkylated products 4 .
