Abstract

Abstract: A palladium catalyst system that allows the reduction of carboxylic acids to the corresponding aldehydes with hydrosilanes as reducing agent and pivalic anhydride as an indispensable reagent has been developed. A simple mixture of commercially available bis ( dibenzylideneacetone) palladium (0)[PdACHTUNGTRENNUNG (dba) 2], tri (para-tolyl) phosphane and methylphenylsilane realized the reduction of various aliphatic carboxylic ...
