A new synthesis of aldehydes by the palladium-catalyzed reaction of 2-pyridinyl esters
with hydrosilanes is described. The reaction is applicable to the preparation of aliphatic,
aromatic, and α,β-unsaturated aldehydes. Various functional groups, such as fluoro,
methoxy, aldehyde, acetal, and ester, are tolerated.
