216ChemInform Abstract The α-siloxycycloalkanones (I) are olefinated with the lithium salts, derived from benzyltrimethylsilane (II), trimethylsilylacetonitrile (IV), or phenyl trimethylsilylmethyl sulfide (VI), to yield the α-siloxy(methylene)cycloalkanes (III), (V), or (VII). In general, the formation of the corresponding Z-isomers is favoured.
