METHOD OF REDUCING A FUNCTIONAL GROUP IN AN OXIDISED FORM

摘要

the present invention is directed to a method of reducing a groupfunctional (oxidized form. the invention applies more particularly tothe reduction in groups of aldehyde, ketone, ester, lactone, nitrile oxidephosphine. the reduction process according to the invention is characterized by thethe fact that it includes the substrate including the functional group in thereduction in the presence of a siloxane compound with the formula type(i) with a catalyst of lewis acid. in theformula (i): r1, r2, identical or different, represent a groupalkyl, cycloalkyl, aryl, and x is a number ranging from 0 to 50.
