Photooxygenation of vinylsilanes in the presence of acetic anhydride and pyridine afforded α-trimethylsilyl enones 1 in moderate to good yields. Since the required starting materials are readily available, the present approach constitutes a useful alternative to existing methods for the preparation of α-trimethylsilyl enones 1.
