An efficient and convergent synthetic route to {alpha},{beta}-unsaturated acylsilanes has been developed based on the Horner-Wadsworth-Emmons reaction of ({alpha}-phosphonoacyl)silanes. The Arbuzov reaction of the ({alpha}-iodoacyl)silane 1c with trimethyl phosphite provides access to the phosphonate 2, which can be alkylated by treatment with potassium tert-butoxide and methyl iodide to afford 3. These ({alpha}-phosphonacyl)silane reagents combine smoothly with a variety of aldehydes to furnish {alpha},{beta}-unsaturated acylsilanes 5-13 in good to excellent yield.
