The cyclization of 5-cyclodecenones substituted at C2 with an alkoxy group was examined. The alkoxy group sufficiently activates the ketone to allow for transannularcyclization upon heating, leading to trans fused hydroazulenols. In the cyclization of the 6-(trimethysilyl)methyl substituted 5-cyclodecenone, the TMS of the allylsilane is retained in the product, leading to a vinylsilane product. Both
