SILYL KETONES are of interest because of their chemical properties and their unique spectral behaviour.1 They must be prepared under relatively mild and neutral con- ditions to avoid cleavage of the silicon-carbonyl carbon b0nd.l Recently, we demonstrated a new method for the synthesis of silyl ketones possessing a functional group by the photosensitized oxygenation of silyl diazo compounds.2 Ozonolysis is one of the most efficient methods of cleaving carbon-carbon ...
