Catalytic reductive deoxygenation of esters to ethers driven by hydrosilane activation through non-covalent interactions with a fluorinated borate salt

We report the catalytic and transition metal-free reductive deoxygenation of esters to ethers through the use of a hydrosilane and a fluorinated borate BArF salt as a catalyst. Experimental and theoretical studies support the role of noncovalent interactions between the fluorinated catalyst, the hydrosilane and the ester substrate in the reaction mechanism.

A Versatile Iridium(III) Metallacycle Catalyst for the Effective Hydrosilylation of Carbonyl and Carboxylic Acid Derivatives

A versatile iridium(III) metallacycle catalysed rapidly and selectively the reduction of a large array of challenging esters and carboxylic acids as well as various ketones and aldehydes. The reactions proceeded in high yields at room temperature by hydrosilylation followed by desilylation. Although the reactions of various aldehydes and ketones resulted exclusively in alcohols, the hydrosilylation of esters led to alcohols or ethers, depending on the type of substrate. Regarding the carboxylic acids, again the nature of the reagent controlled the outcome of the hydrosilylation reaction, either alcohols or aldehydes being formed.

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.
