A highly efficient silver-catalyzed chemoselective method for the reduction of aldehydes to their corresponding alcohols in water was developed by using hydrosilanes as reducing agents. The ketones remained essentially inert under the same reaction conditions, thereby providing an additional synthetically useful chemoselectivity. Georg Thieme Verlag Stuttgart, New York.

The formation of several silyl ethers (alkoxysilanes, R3Si-OR') and unsymmetrical siloxanes (R3Si-O-SiR'3) can be catalyzed by the commercially available potassium bis(trimethylsilyl)amide (KHMDS). The reaction proceeds via direct dealkynative coupling between various alcohols or silanols and alkynylsilanes, with a simultaneous formation of gaseous acetylene as the sole by-product. The dehydrogenative and dealkenative coupling of alcohols or silanols are well-investigated, whilst the utilization of alkynylsilanes as silylating agents has never been comprehensively studied in this context. Overall, the presented system allows the synthesis of various attractive organosilicon compounds under mild conditions, making this approach an atom-efficient, environmentally benign, and sustainable alternative to existing synthetic solutions.
Role of low-valent rhenium species in catalytic hydrosilylation reactions with oxorhenium catalysts

The catalytic competency of a Re(III) complex has been demonstrated. In the presence of silane, oxorhenium(V) catalysts are deoxygenated to produce species that are significantly more active than the metal oxo precursors in hydrosilylation reactions. The results presented suggest that, in evaluating mechanisms for catalytic hydrosilylation reactions that involve high-valent metal oxo complexes, the activity of species that may be generated by deoxygenation of the metal with silane should also be systematically investigated as potential catalysts.
