Abstract

Abstract Direct carbonyl reduction to methylene has been achieved by mild reductant system obtained from the combination of organosilane and gallium (III) trifluoromethanesulfonate {Ga (OTf) 3}, a water tolerant, recyclable, catalyst. Among a series of organosilanes studied, dimethylchlorosilane (Me 2 SiHCl, DMCS) showed the highest efficiency. Both aromatic and aliphatic ketones were effectively reduced to the corresponding methylene products with ...
