Abstract

Trimethylsilyl enol ethers of both saturated and unsaturated aliphatic or alicyclic carbonyl compounds, when submitted to cyclopropanation by an improved Simmons-Smith reaction (Zn/Ag couple is used and hydrolysis of the product is replaced by pyridine work-up), lead to siloxycyclopropane derivatives, which are useful synthetic intermediates.
