Conjugate addition of Me3SiMe2SiLi to cycloalk-2-en-1-ones, ketalization, Tamao-Fleming oxidation (Bu4NF, then H2O2, KHCO3), TPAP oxidation and acid hydrolysis generates 2-methyl cycloalkane-1,3-diones. Ketalization is needed in order to prevent addition of Me3Si(-) to the carbonyl. The pentamethyldisilanyl group has advantages over other silicon units that are used in Tamao-Fleming procedures.

Arenium-ion-catalysed halodealkylation of fully alkylated silanes.

'Organic silicon' is not found in nature but modern chemistry is hard to imagine without silicon bound to carbon. Although silicon-containing commodity chemicals such as those emerging from the 'direct process' look simple, it is not trivial to selectively prepare aryl-substituted and alkyl-substituted (functionalized) silicon compounds, known as silanes. Chlorosilanes such as MeSiCl (n = 1-3) as well as SiCl (n = 4) are common starting points for the synthesis of silicon-containing molecules.

Pleuromutilins elicit slow rates of resistance development and minimal cross-resistance with existing antibiotics. Despite efforts aimed at producing new derivatives by semisynthesis, modification of the tricyclic core is underexplored, in part due to a limited number of functional group handles.

Treatment of alkenylstannanes with Cu(OAc) /Et N affords the corresponding enol esters or ketones under conditions that proved compatible with many common functionalities; these include groups that would neither survive under the standard Tamao-Fleming conditions for the oxidation of Csp2 -SiR bonds nor under the conditions commonly used to oxidize C-B bonds. Chiral centers adjacent to the unveiled carbonyls are not racemized and competing protodestannation is marginal, even if the substrate carries unprotected -OH groups as internal proton sources. Therefore, the procedure is well suited for the preparation of acyloin and aldol derivatives.
