Aldol-like reactions of titanium enolates derived from α-OH, α-OBn, and α-OTBS ketones with a series of aldehydes have been studied. In sharp contrast to the O-benzyl derivatives, the TBS-protected ketones lead to excellent yields and selectivities ( ratios from 30:1 to >95:1) even for the lactate-derived substrate (2-tert-butyldimethylsilyloxy-3-pentanone).
