Trichlorosilane-Dimethylformamide (Cl3SiH-DMF) as an Efficient Reducing Agent. Reduction of Aldehydes and Imines and Reductive Amination of Aldehydes under Mild Conditions Using Hypervalent Hydridosilicates

Abstract

Abstract Trichlorosilane-dimethylformamide (Cl3SiH-DMF) was found to be an effective reducing agent for reduction of aldehydes to alcohols, imines to amines, and also reductive amination of aldehydes. Hypervalent silicates are active species, which enable efficient reduction under mild conditions.
