Abstract
Carbonyl compounds are reduced with trialkoxy-substituted silane to the corresponding alcohols chemo- and stereo-selectively in the presence of alkali metal alkoxide under mild conditions; reduction occurs very smoothly by using an alkoxide derived from pinacol as a bidentate ligand.Keywords
