title: Synthesis of beta-hydroxy ketones and vinylsilanes from homopropargylic alcohols by intramolecular hydrosilation
abstract: Catalytic intramolecular hydrosilation of nonracemic homopropargylic alcohols affords the corresponding five-membered cyclic siloxanes regiospecifically. Oxidation or alkylmetal addition converts these intermediates into beta-hydroxy ketones or vinylsilanes under mild conditions.
