Abstract

The primary alcohols 1a-d and ethers 4a-b were effectively reduced into the corresponding hydrocarbons 2 by HSiEt3 in the presence of catalytic amounts of B (C6F5) 3. The secondary alkyl ethers 4g, h underwent cleavage and/or reduction under similar reaction conditions to produce either the silyl ether 3k or the corresponding alcohol 5b upon subsequent deprotection with TBAF. The secondary alcohols (1g, h) and tertiary alcohol 1i ...
