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.

2-Methylbenzocyclopropene (5) reacts with bromine, iodine, and HCl to give the m-xylenes 12a,c,d as the major products, whereas it reacts with silver nitrate in the presence of ethanol and aniline to give the o-xylenes 11e,f as the major products.Similarly, 3-methylbenzocyclopropene (10) gives mainly m-xylenes 14a,c,d with halogens and HCl and gives p-xylenes 13e,f with silver nitrate and ethanol or aniline.Cyclopropabenzocyclobutene (15) also gives different products with halogens and silver nitrate, but in this case HCl gives the same type of product as the silver ion.The difference in electrophilic behavior of 5, 10, and 15 toward the two types of reagents is suggested to arise from attack of the silver ion (and the proton in the case of 15) on the ? electrons of the cyclopropyl ring.
