The reduction of carboxylic acids to the respective alcohols, in mild conditions, was achieved using [MnBr(CO)<sub>5</sub>] as the catalyst and bench stable PhSiH<sub>3</sub> as the reducing agent. It was shown that the reaction with the earth-abundant metal catalyst could be performed either with a catalyst loading as low as 0.5 mol %, rare with the use of [MnBr(CO)<sub>5</sub>], or on a gram scale employing only 1.5 equiv of PhSiH<sub>3</sub>, the lowest amount of silane reported to date for t ...[more]
