Abstract
The strong organoborane Lewis acid B (C6F5) 3 catalyzes the hydrosilation (using R3SiH) of aromatic and aliphatic carbonyl functions at convenient rates with loadings of 1-4%. For aldehydes and ketones, the product silyl ethers are isolated in 75-96% yield; for esters, the aldehydes produced upon workup of the silyl acetal products can be obtained in 45-70% yield. Extensive mechanistic studies point to an unusual silane activation mechanism ...
