A variety of α,β-unsaturated esters and cyclic ketones underwent smooth reduction of the carbon–carbon double bond with a combination of inexpensive and readily available trichlorosilane and CoCl2. The reactions are performed under very mild conditions and products are obtained in high yields.Key words: reduction, carbonyl compounds, trichlorosilane, ketones, chemoselectivity.

The direct formation of 2,2-disubstituted 1,3-cyclopentanedione compounds by a Lewis acid catalysed reaction with 1,2-bis(trimethylsilyloxy)cyclobutene proceeds in good to excellent yields with unhindered ketals, but steric hindrance reduces the yields considerably. A carbonyl group α or β to the ketal, or a carbon–carbon double bond α to the ketal, stops the reaction completely. Orthoesters do not give geminally acylated products in synthetically useful yields.
