F. Le Bideau et al., KO2/crown ether: a novel catalytic system for the hydrosilation and Tishchenko reaction of aromatic aldehydes, TETRAHEDR L, 41(27), 2000, pp. 5215-5218
A new catalytic system KO2/18-crown-6 ether is reported to lead, in the pre
sence of Et3SiH, to hydrosilation and Tishchenko reaction of aromatic aldeh
ydes. The nature of the products obtained are shown to depend on aldehydes
and experimental conditions. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights rese
