ZnI2-TESH has been found to be a novel mild and efficient reduction system. This reagent, in contrast to the traditional ionic deoxygenation systems (TFA-R3SiH, BF3˙OEt2-R3SiH, etc.), could directly deoxygenate different kinds of carbonyl compounds such as aryl aldehydes, ketones, and α,β-unsaturated enones to the corresponding hydrocarbons in moderate to excellent yields.
