The reaction of benzoyl- and crotonylsilanes (5,9) with lithium enolates of methyl ketones produced 1,2-cyclopropanediols (7,10) via Brook rearrangement of the initial 1,2-adduct and subsequent internal aldol reaction. Treatment of 7 with benzaldehyde in the presence of NaN(SiMe3)2 afforded acyclic aldol adduct 12.
