Abstract

In the presence of a mesoporous aluminosilicate Al–MCM-41, aldol reaction of various silyl enol ethers with both aromatic and aliphatic aldehydes proceeded under mild reaction conditions to afford the corresponding O-silylated aldol adducts in high yields. The solid acid catalyst was easily recovered and reusable three times.
