The stereoselectivity of iododesilylation of terminal E-vinylsilanes varies with changing amount of Lewis acid. The use of this "tunable" stereoselective reaction was demonstrated by the syntheses of two insect sex pheromones with defined E/Z isomeric ratios.

β¦ Synopsis
Sumsrary: trans-Hydrindanediones (1, 3, and 15) have been synthesized in short steps through stereoselective introduction of vinylsilane units onto the cycloalkenones 5 OK 10 followed by AgBF4-mediated internal acylation of the vinylsilane moiety.
We report here two of our syntheses of functionalized trans-hydrindanes (1, 3, and 15) that we have developed in conjunction with the projected steroid synthesis.' These approaches rely, in common, on an intramolecular acylation reaction of vinylsilanes 2 as the crucial ring forming reaction. The first approach, as shown in Scheme I, utilizes the reaction for the C ring construction, and the second one for
