Abstract
The Zn-promoted direct reduction of ketones into the corresponding alcohols with silane under solvent-free conditions was reported. With ZnI2 as a catalyst, hydrosilylation of a large variety of ketones with silanes could proceed smoothly in the air, and exhibit excellent rates and high conversions.
