The aldol reaction of silyl enol ethers with aldehydes is successfully carried out in aqueous media by using a lanthanide trifluoromethanesulfonate as a catalyst. Water soluble aldehydes are applicable and the catalyst can be recovered and reused in this reaction.

condensation of enol trimethylsllyl ethers with acetals, orthoformate, or 2-acetoxytetrahydrofuran or -pyrans to give the corresponding β-alkoxy carbonylcompounds. Reaction of enolsilylethers and carboxonium triflate ion-pair intermediates occurs via acyclic transition states and exhibits moderate to high erythro selectivity independent of the geometry (E/Z) of the enolsilylethers.

Lanthanide trifluoromethanesulfonates (triflates), especially ytterbium triflate (Yb(OTf)(3)), were found to be stable Lewis acids in water. In the presence of a catalytic amount of lanthanide triflate, formaldehyde in water solution (commercial formaldehyde solution) was activated and the hydroxymethylation reaction of silyl enol ethers proceeded smoothly. Lanthanide triflates were also quite effective in the aldol reaction of silyl enol ethers with aldehydes in aqueous media, and water-soluble aldehydes such as acetaldehyde, acrolein, and chloroacetaldehyde could be employed for direct use. Moreover, in all these reactions, lanthanide triflates were quantitatively recovered after the reactions were completed and could be reused.
