Abstract
The use of hydrosilanes as reducing agents in the presence of a palladium catalyst enables an efficient synthesis of aldehydes from acid chlorides. A simple mixture of commercially available Pd(dba)2 and Mes3P catalyzed the reduction of various acid chlorides including aliphatic acid chlorides and α,β-unsaturated acid chlorides to the corresponding aldehydes in good to high yields under mild reaction conditions.
