Poly(methylhydrosiloxane) (PMHS) has been examined for its ability to reduce and subsequently cyclize carbohydrate substrates using catalytic tris(pentafluorophenyl)borane (BCF). The work herein is the first reported example of the direct conversion of monosaccharides to 1,4-anhydro and 2,5-anhydro products utilizing a hydrosiloxane reducing agent. PMHS is produced from waste products of the silicone
