Procedure:  25 mL 1-neck flask, stirbar, septum, N2 inlet

                  Dissolved 0.375 g of aldehyde I in 10 mL of dry CH2Cl2.  Stirred at rt.  Added 1.66 mL of Et3N followed by 1.0 mL of TBSOTf.  After 3h the solution was dark orange.  TLC showed no more s.m.  The reaction mixture was poured into brine and extracted with Et2O.  The organic layer was dried over MgSO4, filtered and the solvent was removed by rotary evaporation.  The product was isolated by flash chromatography on silica gel using 15:85 EtOAc-hexanes as eluant.  The product was a clear, pale yellow oil.  This was then further purified by Kugelrohr distillation (113 C, 0.7 mm).
