Talk:Reductions with hydrosilanes

Wow this is really well done.--24.222.218.100 (talk) 02:48, 25 April 2011 (UTC)

:No, it is (or was) very poorly done. It relied on specialized untitled references. Narrow perspective. --Smokefoot (talk) 14:17, 5 August 2021 (UTC)

A variety of alternative methods for the enantioselective reduction of double bonds are known. Most of these employ catalytic amounts of a transition metal complex and use hydrogen gas as the reducing agent. For instance, iridium complexes of chiral phosphine-oxazoline ligands catalyze the hydrogenation of trisubstituted alkenes in high yield and enantioselecitivity.Liu, D.; Tang, W.; Zhang, X. Org. Lett. 2004, 6, 513.

Ketones may be reduced using either transfer hydrogenative methods.Jiang, Y.; Jiang, Q.; Zhang, X. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1998, 120, 3817. or with hydrogen in the presence of rhodium catalysts. The example below uses the PennPhos ligand.Jiang, Q.; Jiang, Y.; Xiao, D.; Cao, P.; Zhang, X. Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 1998, 37, 1100.
