Abstract
It was found that, in the presence of TiCl4, keto esters such as ethyl pyruvate, ethyl 2,2-dimethyl acetoacetate, ethyl levulinate and ethyl 5-oxohexanoate react with various trimethylsilyl enol ethers derived from ketones at room temperature to afford cross aldols, i.e., hydroxy keto esters, in good yields.
