A novel, stereoselective trimethylsilylcyclopentane annulation reaction is reported, in which conjugate addition of allyltrimethylsilane to 1-acetylcycloalkenes occurs with subsequent ß-silyl cation induced sila-Wagner-Meerwein rearrangement. It is suggested that the 1,2-silyl shift proceeds via an intermediate non-classical pentavalent silicon cation.
