Enantio-switching, substituent shuffling, and Z-selectivity are the highlights of the method. The developed method was applied for the first total synthesis of peribysin D along with its structural revision. Formal synthesis of E-guggulsterone and E-volkendousin was also claimed using a short sequence.},

	A reliable method for the one-step direct deoxygenation of alpha-hydroxy ketones has been developed using a silyl lithium reagent and acetic anhydride. The method is metal-catalyst-free and does not require prefunctionalization of the hydroxy group prior to its removal. Deoxygenation of different primary, secondary, and tertiary alcohols was carried out with up to 98\% isolated yield. Additionally, double deoxygenation was achieved when the present method was applied to alpha,beta-dihydroxy ketones to access the corresponding enones in a single step.</p>
