title: Tandem aldol-allylation and aldol-aldol reactions with ketone-derived enolsilanes: highly diastereoselective single-step synthesis of complex tertiary carbinols.
abstract: A new tandem aldol-allylation reaction employing ketone-derived enolates has been developed that leads to the rapid, diastereoselective synthesis of tertiary carbinol containing fragments with relevance to polyketide natural product synthesis. In addition, the use of ketone-derived enolates has led to the development of a new tandem aldol-aldol reaction.
