title: The reactivity of a silacyclopentadienylidene towards aldehydes: silole ring expansion and the formation of base-stabilized silacyclohexadienones.
abstract: Tossing aldehydes into the ring: The reaction of a silacyclopentadienylidene with aldehydes leads to C=O bond cleavage with the formation of base-stabilized silanones and cyclopropanation of the adjacent C=C bond, followed by silole ring expansion to give silicon analogues of cyclohexadienones.
