New strategies for the synthesis of (trialkylsilyl)vinylketenes ('TAS- vinylketenes') are described based on the photochemical Wolff rearrangement of α'-silyl-α'-diazo-α,β-unsaturated ketones and the 4π electrocyclic ring opening of cyclobutenones. These remarkably robust vinylketenes undergo highly regioselective [4 + 2] cycloadditions with reactive olefinic and acetylenic dienophiles to produce highly substituted cyclohexenones and phenols in which the ketene carbonyl dominates in controlling the regiochemical course of the reaction. The stereochemical course of these cycloadditions follows the Alder endo rule, as illustrated in the reaction of nitropropene with TAS-vinylketene 22.

Alkynylsilanes undergo regioselective cycloadditions with dichloroketene in good yield; the regiochemical course of these reactions is in accord with frontier molecular orbital predictions.
