Abstract

Abstract Acetonylation of α, β-enones can be achieved by reactions either with (2-methyl-2- propenyl) trimethylsilane or with allyltrimethylsilane followed by oxidative cleavage of the double bond or by the Wacker reaction, respectively. Annelation of the 1, 5-diketones is also described briefly.
