title: Tandem molybdenum catalyzed hydrosilylations: an expedient synthesis of beta-aryl aldehydes.
abstract: The synthesis of beta-aryl aldehydes utilizing a tandem molybdenum catalyzed hydrosilylation is described. This new functional group interconversion provides an efficient method for the two-carbon homologation of aryl aldehydes.
