In the presence of a Lewis acid, trimethylsilyl-substituted β,γ-unsaturated ketones and aldehydes (imines) undergo nucleophilic addition to produce zwitterionic intermediates, followed by oxy-2-oxonia(azonia)-Cope rearrangements to give homoallylic esters (amides). In the case of TMS-containing 2-vinylcycloalkanones, the process results in ring-enlargement, providing 10- to 16-membered lactones. This protocol was applied to the total synthesis of (R)-phoracantholide I.
