Abstrakt: [reaction: see text] (Trialkylsilyl)arylketenes combine with (trimethylsilyl)diazomethane in a new [4 + 1] annulation process leading to 2-indanone derivatives. The (trialkylsilyl)arylketene annulation substrates are available via the photochemical Wolff rearrangement of alpha-silyl-alpha-diazo ketones, which are themselves prepared by silylation of the corresponding diazo ketones. The mechanism of the annulation reaction is proposed to involve the formation of a 2,3-bis(silyl)cyclopropanone, which is in equilibrium with an oxyallylic cation. Electrocyclic closure of this intermediate forms the new cyclopentenone ring.
