Abstract
B(C6F5)3 efficiently catalyzes hydrosilylation of aliphatic and aromatic carboxylic acids to produce disilyl acetals under mild conditions. Catalyst loadings can be as low as 0.05 mol %, and bulky tertiary silanes are favored to give selectively the acetals. Acidic workup of the disilyl acetals results in the formation of aldehydes in good to excellent yields.
