(Chemical Equation Presented) This study describes a novel one-pot procedure for a directly reductive conversion of the carbonyl function of esters to the corresponding ethers by Et3SiH in the presence of a catalytic amount of InBr3.

An indium(III) bromide-triethylsilane reagent system promotes direct reduction of esters to produce the corresponding unsymmetrical ethers. This simple catalytic system accommodated other carbonyl compounds, such as a tertiary amide and a carboxylic acid. Georg Thieme Verlag Stuttgart.
