Abstract
An essentially mild and efficient catalyst system, the combined use of trimethylsilyl chloride and tin(II) chloride, is effectively employed for the activation of acetals, aldehydes, orthoesters, and α,β-unsaturated ketones to accomplish the reaction with silyl enol ethers to give the corresponding addition products in good yields.
