Observations on the scope of an intramolecular directed aldol condensation. A new synthesis of eight-membered rings

Abstract
The TiCl4-catalysed intramolecular directed aldol condensation of silyl enol ethers and acetals can be used to make 6-, 7-, and 8-membered rings; a template effect of Ti is invoked to explain the formation of medium rings.
