The reductive etherification of aldehydes with alkoxytrimethylsilanes using trimethylsilane as a reducing agent and trimethylsilyl iodide as a catalyst is extended to the preparation of crowded tertiary-primary ethers (12 examples). The high yield reactions proceed under very mild conditions and the workup involves simple evaporation of the solvents.
