Abstract

γ-butyrolactones are obtained in good yields from 4-trimethylsilyl-3-alkyn-1-ols via Wacker- type oxidation reaction. A mechanism is proposed for this transformation: it involves two successive trans-hydroxypalladations followed by a [PdXSiMe3] syn-elimination and explains why the presence of the silyl group is essential in such a process.
