Abstract
This work uses 1-hydrosilatrane – an accessible and easy-to-handle reducing reagent – to selectively reduce acid chlorides to aldehydes. This metal-free reduction proceeds rapidly at ambient temperature in the presence of N-methylpyrrolidine, efficiently producing aldehydes in up to 54% yield and with the balance largely remaining as starting material. No over-reduced alcohol product is observed.
