In our case, the difference in steric environment apparently favors the dehydrosilylation of the more accessible side chain silyl enol ether while the more hindered cyclic enol ether undergoes acid-catalyzed hydrolysis. 44: Obtained from ketal ketone 32 by deprotonation with one equivalent of base (LiHMDS) under thermodynamic conditions, followed by quenching of the resulting enolate with the powerful electrophile PhSeCl. In this case the cyclic enolate is obviously the thermodynamically most stable species.

Commun. 1998, 28, 1817-1821, and references therein. In our case, the flask walls are apparently acidic enough at the high temperatures used to cause isomerization.
