Alkynes bearing propargylic, homopropargylic, and bishomopropargylic hydroxyl groups are shown to serve as precursors for ketone or alpha-hydroxy ketone functionality. The approach hinges on the intermediacy of vinylsilanes created through regioselective hydrosilylation catalyzed by the complex [Cp*Ru(MeCN)3]PF6. Several oxidative pathways of linear and cyclic vinylsilanes are studied, and the possibility of diastereoselective epoxidation of cyclic vinylsilanes is demonstrated. The sequences con ...[more]
