Abstract
Various ketones, esters, amides, and thioesters add in high yield to dimethyl acetals in the presence of silyl trifluoromethanesulfonates and an amine base in a single reaction flask, without purification of the intermediate enol silane. Acetals derived from aryl, unsaturated, and aliphatic aldehydes are all effective substrates.
