Direct Zn–diamine promoted reduction of CO and CN bonds by polymethylhydrosiloxane in methanol

Abstract
Ketones and imines are chemoselectively reduced at room temperature in methanol to the corresponding alcohols and amines in high yields in a one-step procedure using polymethylhydrosiloxane (PMHS) and a simple zinc–diamine catalyst.
