, p. 429 - 432 (2007/10/02)
Pyrolysis and photolysis of the first examples of five-membered ring sila and germa ketones 2 is reported.The photolysis of 2a leading to a cyclic acetal via a siloxycarbene is contrasted to the behavior of the germa analog 2b wich gives ring cleavage via a ketene intermediate.
