[((R)-BINAP)Pt(mu-OH)](2)center dot 2OTf catalyzed the enantioselective aldol reaction of aldehydes with 1-methoxy-2-methyl-(1-trimethylsilyloxy)propene at room temperature in dry DMF in high yields with enantioselectivity up to 92%. This is a versatile example of the catalytic enantio selective aldol reaction using a silyl ketene acetal promoted by (mu-hydroxo)-platinum complexes under mild conditions. (c) 2008 Elsevier Ltd.
