Selective reduction of carboxylic acids to aldehydes through manganese catalysed hydrosilylation

The direct reduction of carboxylic acids to disilylacetals was achieved through a manganese catalyzed hydrosilylation reaction in the presence of triethylsilane under mild conditions, at r.t. and under UV irradiation (350 nm). The aldehydes were obtained in good to excellent yields after acidic hydrolysis.

Selective reduction of carboxylic acids to aldehydes catalyzed by B(C 6F5)3

B(C6F5)3 efficiently catalyzes hydrosilylation of aliphatic and aromatic carboxylic acids to produce disilyl acetals under mild conditions. Catalyst loadings can be as low as 0.05 mol %, and bulky tertiary silanes are favored to give selectively the acetals. Acidic workup of the disilyl acetals results in the formation of aldehydes in good to excellent yields.
