The authors studied the reaction of (dicarboxyiodo)benzenes with the trimethylsilyl ethers of ketone enols having various structures. They also undertook a comparative investigation of the oxidation of these compounds with lead tetraacetate. The reaction of (diacetoxyiodo)benzene with the trimethylsilyl ethers of ketone enols takes place with retention of the (CH/sub 3/)/sub 3/Si group in two directions, i.e., substitution of the vinylic hydrogen or diacetoxylation of the double bond. The reaction can be used for the regioselective synthesis of /alpha/-acetoxy ketones, since the trimethylsilyl group is readily eliminated from the obtained products by the action of fluoride ion or boron trifluoride etherate with the formation of the corresponding substituted ketones.
