Acyclic and cyclic α-tributylstannyl enones 4 were regio- and stereoselectively synthesized by photooxygenation of vinylstannanes 1, followed by dehydration of the intermediary hydroperoxides with triethylamine/4-dimethylaminopyridine and acetic anhydride or ethyl chloroformate. This one-pot, two-step procedure offers a short and convenient method for the synthesis of α-tributylstannyl enones from the readily available vinylstannanes.
