23. Control experiments omitting either DBU (1,8-diazoabicyclo-[5.4.0]-undecane) or 4 resulted in no product formation.
24. Thiazolium salts such as 3-benzyl-4,5-dimethylthiazolium bromide afford no product when exogenous alcohols were omitted from the reaction.
25. The use of benzoyltrimethylsilane (1a) for these reactions results in significantly reduced conversion. This observation is under investigation.

28. The use of 3-octanol in the reaction affords 3-trimethylsilyloxyoctane (observed by gas chromatography), thus implicating the alcohol as the ultimate silyl acceptor. See Supporting Information for details.
29. Replacing la with PhCHO affords mainly benzoin and only 20-30% of 5.
