The EtAlCl2-mediated intramolecular addition of silyl enol ethers to both terminal and internal unactivated alkynes, bearing alkyl and phenyl susbstituents at the alkyne moiety, gave mono- and bicyclic β,γ-unsaturated ketones in good to excellent yields. On the other hand, the silyloxy-substituted cyclic vinylsilanes were obtained in moderate to high yields when the reactions were catalyzed by B(C6F5)3 in the presence of triethylsilane. All the reactions proceeded via endo-fashion exclusively. The mechanisms of these regiospecific Lewis acid-assisted carbocyclizations are proposed.Key words: Lewis acid, silyl enol ethers, carbocyclization, alkynes.
