Can a Vacuum Chamber Suppress a Detonation?

[Nojophy]

I´m wondering if it´s possible to suppress a detonation by the use of a big vacuum chamber that "opens" as the detonation starts.
I mean, if the vacuum will disturb the expansion of the shock waves by "absorbing" the waves or something like this.

If the detonation takes place inside a vacuum there will not be any shock waves, only flying debris and heat.
