Me2S-induced Highly Selective Reduction of Aldehydes in the Presence of Ketones Involving Aldehyde-selective Rate Enhancement: A Triruthenium Cluster-catalyzed Hydrosilylation

Addition of appropriate amounts of Me2S unusually accelerated the hydrosilylation of aldehydes catalyzed by [Ru3(CO)7(Acy)] (1, Acy: µ3-η2,η3,η5-acenaphthylene). The reduction of ketones was completely suppressed under the reaction conditions. The highly selective reduction of aldehydes in the prese...

Description
Summary:Addition of appropriate amounts of Me2S unusually accelerated the hydrosilylation of aldehydes catalyzed by [Ru3(CO)7(Acy)] (1, Acy: µ3-η2,η3,η5-acenaphthylene). The reduction of ketones was completely suppressed under the reaction conditions. The highly selective reduction of aldehydes in the presence of ketones was achieved via a nonconventional mechanism.
