Despite the availability of various procedures for arene substitu-tion via nucleophilic addition to electron-deficient arenes, such as nitroarenes, aryldiazonium compounds, and oxazolines, k· 2 little is known about nucleophilic addition to an aromatic nucleus with simple carbonyl and carboxyl functionalities which act as electron-withdrawing groups with weak activating capabilities. Recent progress in this field has been achieved only by Tomioka and Koga using the conjugate addition of organolithiums to sterically hindered 2, 6-di-ferf-butyl-4-methoxyphenyl naphthalenecarboxylates. 3 In this Communication, we describe the first example of the regioselective conjugateaddition of organolithi-ums to simple aromatic aldehydes and ketones by complexation with aluminum tris (2, 6-diphenylphenoxide)(ATPH) 4· 5 as an efficient carbonyl stabilizer (Scheme 1). Reactive organometallic reagents normally add to benzaldehyde (1) or acetophenone (2) in a 1, 2 fashion. For example, alkylation of benzaldehyde with f-BuLi in ether or THF at—78 C gives rise to the 1, 2-adduct 2, 2-dimethyl-2-phenyl-1-propanol
