Tri-substituted Silane Reducing Agent
Organosilanes are hydrocarbon-like and possess the ability to serve as both ionic and free-radical reducing agents. These reagents and their reaction by-products are safer and more easily handled and disposed than many other reducing agents. The metallic nature of silicon and its low electronegativity relative to hydrogen lead to polarization of the Si-H bond yielding a hydridic hydrogen and a milder reducing agent compared to aluminum-, boron-, and other metal-based hydrides. A summary of some key silane reductions are presented in Table 1 of the Silicon-Based Reducing Agents brochure.
Triphenylsilane; Triphenylsilanlyl hydride
More effective radical-based reagent for reduction of organic halides than the trialkylsilanesCompares well with tri-n-butyltin hydride in reduction of enones to ketonesShows good selectivity in the reduction of cyclic hemiacetalsConverts O-acetyl furanoses and pyranoses to deoxy sugarsExtensive review of silicon based reducing agents: Larson, G.; Fry, J.
