Abstract

The reductive etherification of aldehydes can be performed by the reaction with dialkylmethylsilanes in the presence of new iron(II) piano-stool catalysts of general formula Cp ^*Fe(CO) ₂Ar (Cp ^* = η ⁵-C ₅Me ₅; Ar = Ph, 4-C ₆H ₄OCH ₃, 4-C ₆H ₄CH ₃, Fc). This transformation is promoted by UV light and affords a simple route for the preparation of unsymmetrical alkyl ethers.
