Facilereductions of carboxylic acids to aldehydes or alcohols can be effected under mild conditions upon initial conversion to their corresponding S-2-pyridyl thioesters. Upon treatment with a commercially available and air-stable nickel pre-catalyst and silane as a stoichiometric reductant, aldehydes are formed in moderate to good yields. Alternatively, the 1-pot conversion of acids to their thioester
