title: The remarkable solvent effect on Zn(OAc)2-catalyzed hydrosilylation of ketones.
abstract: The combination of Zn(OAc)(2) and N,N-dimethylformamide was found to effectively hydrosilylate various ketones at room temperature. Furthermore, our protocol allows the chemoselective reduction of a formyl group in the presence of a ketone group.
