28. The authors reported a slow but appreciable rate of background acylation (33% yield compared to 93% for the catalyzed process) in the absence of catalyst under these conditions.
29. The catalyst is also an active promoter of the challenging Baylis-Hillman reaction at higher catalyst loadings (30 mol%).

42. During the preparation of this manuscript, an achiral magnetic-nanoparticle-supported phase-transfer catalyst based on a quaternary ammonium salt was reported for the butylation of sodium phenoxide at 100°C. The catalyst is active at a loading of 4 mol% and could be recycled four times with only a 5% reduction in yield: M. Kawamura, K. Sato, Chem. Commun. 2006, 4718.

50. 4 nanoparticles; all reactions catalyzed by DMAP pass through key pyridinium-ion intermediates, while nucleophile-catalyzed acylations of alcohols in the presence of a stoichiometric amine base generate ammonium salts. For a recent report detailing the binding of magnetite to ammonium cations, see: W. Li, C. Gao, H. Qian, J. Ren, D. Yan, J. Mater. Chem. 2006, 16, 1852.
51. 1 can be prepared in one step from commercially available 4-N-methylpyridine (Aldrich) and (3-chloropropyl)triethoxysilane. See reference [7] or the Supporting Information for details.

56. Control reactions for the formation of 6, 10, 12, and 14 in the absence of 2 under otherwise identical conditions to those in Table 2 proceeded to 0, 0, 1, and 0% conversion respectively.
57. We have also found that an analogue of 2 prepared from the direct coupling of 1 with magnetite nanoparticles (without a silica layer) can serve as an active and recyclable acylation catalyst in the BOC protection of indole (under conditions identical to those in Table 2, entries 7-9). In these experiments, 10 could be prepared from 9 in quantitative conversion in each of five consecutive cycles.
