Hydroxy esters are reduced by trimethoxysilane in the presence of a catalytic amount of lithium methoxide to yield diols, while for simple esters the alcohol exchange reaction takes place preferentially. Through the exchange reaction, lactones, without a hydroxy group are reduced. Tosylimines are also reduced in the system.
