Castellanos-Blanco, Nahury published the artcileNickel-catalyzed reduction of ketones with water and triethylsilane, Application of Triethylsilanol, the publication is Inorganica Chimica Acta (2017), 324-332, database is CAplus.
The acetophenone reduction using catalytically active nickel complexes and water as an efficient and sustainable method to access a new methodol. of transfer hydrogenation of ketones were reported. When triethylsilane (Et3SiH) was used as sacrificial agent that promoted the transfer hydrogenation from water, 1-phenylethanol was obtained in excellent yield along with silanol (Et3SiOH) as the reaction’s driving force. Deuterium labeling studies were made using Et3SiD or D2O and these studies showed that both compounds participated as hydride sources for the ketone reduction A scope of substrates was assessed, including a variety of mono/diketones, and α,β-unsaturated ketones, to yield the corresponding secondary alcs. and saturated ketones. Addnl., asym. transfer hydrogenation of mono-ketones was studied for the mixture of nickel/(bisphosphine or phospholane) as catalyst precursor, using H2O/Et3SiO system and ethanol as hydrogen sources.
