title: Synthesis and ring opening reactions of a 2-silabicyclo[2.1.0]pentane.
abstract: Methyl 2-silabicyclo[2.1.0]pentane-1-carboxylate, obtained by a photochemical intramolecular cyclopropanation reaction of an [small alpha]-allylsilyl-[small alpha]-diazoacetate, undergoes ring opening reactions under different conditions leading to methyl 2-[diisopropyl(methoxy)silylmethyl]cyclopropane-1-carboxylate, a 1-sila-4-cyclopentene-2-carboxylate or an allyl(methoxysilyl)ketene.
