Abstract

Aldehydes, ketones, esters and lactones may be reduced using a reductant system consisting of polymethylhydroxysilane (PMHS) and a metal hydride to give good yields of the corresponding alcohols. The reductant system used in the method enables preferential reduction of the carbonyl function.
