Synthesis of ethers from esters via Fe-catalyzed hydrosilylation

Triiron dodecacarbonyl allows for the selective reduction of esters into the corresponding ethers. This protocol has a wide substrate scope. In addition, cholesteryl pelarogonate has been reduced under the reaction conditions with an excellent yield.

Cu(OTf)2-catalyzed Et3SiH-reductive etherification of various carbonyl compounds with trimethylsilyl ethers

A triethylsilane-reductive etherification of the trimethylsilyl ethers with a variety of carbonyl compounds in good yields at room temperature employing 0.5 mol% Cu(OTf)2 as an extremely efficient catalyst is described here.
