Abstract
A protocol is described for the reduction of carboxylic acids to primary alcohols using 1, 1, 3, 3-tetramethyldisiloxane (TMDS) and a catalytic amount of Cu (OTf) 2. Aliphatic as well as aromatic carboxylic acids are reduced in high selectivity and good yields. TMDS/Cu (OTf) 2 has also been found to be an efficient catalytic reducing system for the preparation of symmetrical ethers from carbonyl compounds under mild conditions.
