By using Tf2CHCH2CHTf2 in a range from 0.5 to 2.0 mol %, the vinylogous Mukaiyama aldol reaction of α-substituted cyclohexanones with 2-silyloxyfurans smoothly proceeded to give the aldol products in excellent yield without the loss of diastereoselectivity. Under similar conditions, acyclic ketene silyl acetals also performed as nice nucleophiles toward sterically hindered ketones. These findings suggest that Tf2CHCH2CHTf2 induced Mukaiyama aldol type reactions can overcome the steric hindrance between reaction sites. %I ACS Publications
