The aldol reactions of trimethoxysilyl enol ethers catalyzed by lithium binaphtholate were found to be powerful tools for the construction of quaternary asymmetric carbon centers. The stereoselectivities were greatly affected by the presence of water. Trimethoxysilyl enol ether derived from a cyclic ketone, such as cyclohexanone, was used as a substrate to obtain the anti-adduct preferentially under anhydrous conditions; by contrast, the syn-adduct was preferentially obtained under aqueous conditions with high stereoselectivity. The aldol-Tishchenko reaction of a trimethoxysilyl enol ether derived from acyclic ketones proceeded to give monoacyl 1,3-diol derivatives in high enantioselectivities. (C) 2012 Elsevier Ltd.

The title reaction proceeded with either ring enlargement or bicyclic compound formation, as well as the aldol reaction, depending upon the types of the reactants and reaction conditions.
