Abstract Platinum-catalyzed intramolecular hydrosilation of hydrodimethylsilyl ethers of homopropargyl alcohols proceeds regioselectively in a 5-exo-dig mode. The resulting vinylsilanes can be transformed into 3-alkanon-1-ol and 3-bromo-3-alken-1-ol derivatives by H 2 O 2 oxidation and bromine cleavage, respectively.
