New reactivity of methoxyhydridosilane in the catalytic activation system
摘要:
Hydroxy eaters are reduced by trimethoxysilane in the presence of a catalytic amount of lithium methoxide to yield diols, while for simple eaters the alcohol exchange reaction takes place preferentially. Through the exchange reaction, lactones without a hydroxy group are reduced. Tosylimines are also reduced in the system. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
