The reaction of 1-phenyldimethylsilylmethyl-2-vinyl cyclopropane with acetals under the influence of TMSOTf proceeds smoothly to provide skipped dienes with exclusive E-olefin geometry regardless of the initial cis/trans configuration of the starting cyclopropane. The reaction is under stereoelectronic control where the intermediate Prins cation formed is stabilised by the adjacent cyclopropane grouping in a bisected conformation before undergoing silyl-directed collapse.
