Abstract

The direct reduction of alcohols using chlorodiphenylsilane as a hydride source in the presence of a catalytic amount of indium trichloride is described. Benzylic alcohols, secondary alcohols, and tertiary alcohols were effectively reduced to give the corresponding alkanes in high yields. A compound bearing both primary and secondary hydroxyl groups was reduced only at the secondary site to afford the primary alcohol after workup with ...
