Abstract

The polymethylhydrosiloxane-B(C(6)F(5))(3) combination is found to be a versatile carbonyl defunctionalization system under mild and rapid conditions. For the first time, B(C(6)F(5))(3) has been used as a nonconventional Lewis acid catalyst to activate PMHS. Aromatic and aliphatic carbonyl compounds were effectively reduced to give the corresponding alkanes in high yields.
