LATENT ACETONYLATION OF α,β-ENONES WITH ALLYLTRIMETHYLSILANE OR 2-METHYL-2-PROPENYLTRIMETHYLSILANE: SYNTHESIS OF 1,5-DIKETONES AND ANNELATION TO FUSED CYCLOHEXENONES

Article abstract of DOI:10.1016/S0040-4039(00)77749-5

Acetonylation of α,β-enones can be achieved by either with (2-methyl-2-propenyl)trimethylsilane or with allyltrimethylsilane followed by oxidative cleavage of the double bond or by the Wacker reaction, respectively.Annelation of the 1,5-diketones is also
