With EtiSiH

A regioselective conversion of 6,8-dioxabicyclol3.2. IJoctanes to oxepanes is effected by a TiCl4-catalyzed reduction with EtiSiH. ... 

Benzyl azides undergo rearrangement-reduction tandem to afford A-methylary-lamincs-" on treatment with EtiSiH-SnCU. 

Substituted 1-isoindolinones are synthesized from MN-dimethylaminophthalimide via reaction with organolithiums (or Grignard reagents), deoxygenation with EtiSiH-CF3COOH, and N—bond cleavage with Zn in HOAc. 

Diaryl ketones are directly reduced to hydrocarbons with EtiSiH-BFi OEt2. In the reduction of phosphine oxides" (i-PrO)4Ti is used as the Lewis acid catalyst. 

C)n with EtiSiH-BFj OEt . In d a-, the Lewis acid catalyst, ammo acids undergo reductive at Pd-C. The 2-arylthiazolidines Thus this process completes a... 

Benzyl ethers can be prepared from THP ethers by the Me3SiOTf-catalyzed reaction with PhCHO and EtiSiH." Analogously, amides, carbamates, and ureas are A -alkylated via condensation with aldehydes followed by in situ reduction with Et SiH. The aldehyde may be replaced by a thioester that is subject to reduction in situ. Thus, a mixture of sodium triacetoxyborohydride, triethylsilane, and Pd-C catalyst is employed. ... 

Interestingly, when ketones are reacted with indole (or indoles substituted in the benzene part) in the presence of EtiSiH and Q3CCOOH, reductive alkylation in the 3-position takes place, and products 21 are formed [138]. A (formally) analogous type of 3-alkylation occurs (products 22) when styrenes and other terminal olefins undergo addition to indole mediated by catalysis of AuCl(PPh3)/AgOTf [139] ...
