An easy aproach to 1-silylated ketones and asymmetrical 1,6- and 1,8-dicarbonyl compounds"

A variety of 1-silylated ketones and asymmetrical 1,6- and 1,8-dicarbonyl compounds are synthesized with 70-85% yields by means of Pd-catalysed selective hydrogenation reactions of the corresponding unsaturated conjugated products, readily available by a previously reported procedure.
