Synthesis of ethers from estersvia Fe-catalyzed hydrosilylation

Abstract

Triiron dodecacarbonyl allows for the selective reduction of esters into the corresponding ethers. This protocol has a wide substrate scope. In addition, cholesteryl pelarogonate has been reduced under the reaction conditions with an excellent yield.
