Tweaking Copper Hydride (CuH) for Synthetic Gain. A Practical, One-Pot Conversion of Dialkyl Ketones to Reduced Trialkylsilyl Ether Derivatives

Abstract

[reaction: see text] Variations in the reagents and stoichiometries used to generate CuH in situ, as well as the nature of the ligands present, have led to a very efficient and inexpensive method for effecting hydrosilylations of dialkyl ketones.
