18. The initial aldol reaction proceeds in 91% yield with 77/23 syn/anti selectivity. See Supporting Information for details. This is different from typical β-oxygenated aldehydes (see: Evans, D. A.; Cee, V. J.; Siska, S. J. Tetrahedron Lett. 1994, 35, 8537), but we believe differences arise from the combination of bulky super silyl-enol ether and -cation, which greatly differ from substrates and catalysts in the reference.
