Lithium acetate-catalyzed aldol reaction between aldehyde and trimethylsilyl enolate
Lithium acetate-catalyzed aldol reaction between trimethylsilyl enolates and aldehydes proceeded smoothly in a DMF or pyridine solvent to afford the corresponding aldols in good to high yields under weakly basic conditions.
