Mukaiyama-type aldol coupling of typical silyl enolates 2-4 with aryl or vinyl aldehydes and acetals was realized in the presence of 1-5 mol % of MgI(2) etherate (1) in a mild, efficient, and highly chemoselective manner. Iodide counterion, weakly coordinating peripheral ethereal ligands (Et(2)O) of Mg(II), and a noncoordinating reactionmedia (i.e. CH(2)Cl(2)) are among the critical factors for the

The Mukayiama aldolreaction of aldehydes is efficiently accomplished with a low concentration of the dimeric alumatrane catalyst 2 at mild or subambient temperatures. Our protocol tolerates a wide variety of electron-rich, neutral, and deficient aryl, alkyl, and heterocyclic aldehydes. A wide variety of enol silyl ethers are also tolerated. An intermediate that was isolated provides mechanistic information
