Unsymmetrical 1,6-diketones were obtained by the copper(II) bromide-lithium t-butoxide oxidation of 1,2-disubstituted 1,2-cyclohexanediols. The diols were easily prepared by the addition of Grignard reagents to 2-trimethylsiloxy-2-cyelohexenone followed by the hydrolysis and treatment of the resulting 2-hydroxycyclohexanones with the second Grignard reagents. Similarly, 1,5-Diketones were obtained using 2-trimethylsiloxy-2-cyclopentenone as a starting material.

1-(Trimethylsilyl)allylic alcohols have been prepared and their conversions to silyl enol ethers have been examined. Under appropriate conditions, lithium alkoxides of the above alcohols are in equilibrium with lithium homoenolates, 3-(trimethylsiloxy)allyllithiums, which react with alkyl iodides to give the silyl enol ethers of defined stereo- and regiochemistry. Further, a catalytic amount of butyllithium induces the rearrangement of the alcohols to yield the corresponding silyl enol ethers in a highly stereo- and regiocontrolled manner via self-protolysis. Equilibrium composition between lithium alkoxides and lithium homoenolates has been shown to be greatly influenced by the steric factors around alpha carbons of allylic alcohols.
