Polyketides have long provided synthetic organic chemists with a variety of complex architectures to construct and develop new chemical tools for, and provided medicine with, many useful drugs. About 1% of polyketides display drug activity, which is five times the average for natural products.[1] A common strategy in the synthesis of polyketides is the cross-aldol reaction, although it can be complicated by uncontrolled oligomerization and dehydration reactions.[2] There has been significant advances in the development of the asymmetric aldol and allylation reactions of aldehydes.[3, 4] However, further manipulations, such as alcohol protection or redox reactions, are often required before the next iteration can proceed. Therefore, there has been increasing interest in one-pot cascade aldol reactions;[5, 6] however, only one example successfully proceeded to the third aldol iteration, and in low yields.[5a] Inspired by the seminal work of Mukaiyama et al.,[2a] our research group reported an aldol cascade reaction using tris (trimethylsilyl) silyl enol ethers, such as the easily prepared 1,[7] to give versatile aldehyde products 2 (Scheme 1). Moreover, these aldehydes can be treated with Grignard or polyhalomethyllithium reagents in the same reaction pot to generate mono-protected diols.[8] The formation of these compounds is highly diastereoselective because of the extreme steric bulk of the tris (trimethylsilyl) silyl group.[7a, 8a, 9] Significantly, further addition of 1 to 2 is strictly prevented, because of the steric bulk of the (TMS) 3SiNTf2· 2 complex.We set out with the challenging aim of extending this aldol cascade reaction to three or more additions of 1 to an aldehyde for the construction of polyketides in a minimal number of steps. Despite several attempts, treatment of dimethylpropanal with 1 (4.0 equivalents) and Tf2NH in dichloromethane gave only the double-aldol product 2a (R= tBu), without the formation of any triple-aldol product 3a (Table 1, entry 1). Heating the reaction mixture also failed to produce the desired triple aldol adduct. Evidently, a new approach was required. Simple solvent screening had interesting effects on the reaction: performing the reaction in hexane or toluene gave only the mono-aldol adduct (Table 1, entries 2 and 3), whilst when
