Abstract

Pyrolysis and photolysis of the first examples of five-membered ring sila and germa ketones is reported. The photolysis of leading to a cyclic acetal via a siloxycarbene is contrasted to the behavior of the germa analog which gives ring cleavage via a ketene intermediate. ... Accts. Chem.
