One thing that attracted me to this method is that the ratio of the methyl sulfonamide to base to the chlorophosphate is 1:2:1; in other words, there is not the approximate twofold of excess of the methyl sulfonamide over the phosphorylating agent that I found in most other protocols.  As to what is different, my speculation is that the steric bulk of this base prevents it from removing a proton from the product, which is more acidic than the starting material.

Or maybe the product becomes a lithio enol? I know that ethyl acetate is best lithiated by LiHMDS it gives better yields, better than LDA. Its interesting. I dont know if steric bulk stops deprotonation, maybe it does

If effective nuclear charge is net pull inwards by all the protons in the nucleus on outer electrons, why does removing a outer electron increase the net pull by the protons on outer electrons inwards? As far as I know, Valence shell electrons don't shield other valence shell electrons from the proton in the nucleus, and outer shell electrons don't shield inner shell electrons.

I'm learning about cations smaller than their neutral atoms.

If F_electrostatic=kq_1q_2/r^2. Let q_1 be charge of nucleus' proton(s) which is constant if you make a neutral atom a cation. AFAIK: If q_2 is negative and becomes smaller because you pulled out an electron to form some cation, then you're decreasing attractive force inwards towards the nucleus, which means that quite absurdly you're decreasing effective nuclear charge contrary to what my source says.

Great! Maybe there is a cool explanation why the LiHMDS is better to use
