A variety of aromatic and alkyl acid chlorides can be selectively converted into aldehydes using dimethylphenyl silane (HSiMe 2 Ph) as the reducing reagent in the presence of the cationic ruthenium catalyst {Cp[( i‐ Pr) 3 P]Ru(NCMe) 2 } + [PF 6 ] − . The reactions proceed under very mild conditions and are tolerant to many functional groups.
