Abstract: The reaction of 1,3-bis(silyloxy)-1,3-butadienes with funcionalized and non-funcionalized acid chlorides and bis(acid chlorides) gives rise to the formation of a great variety of open-chained 1,3,5-tri- and 1,3,5,7-tetracarbonyl compounds and of cyclic products derived from them. Permethylated and cyclopropanated polycarbonyl compounds were successfully prepared by a stepwise protocol.
