Abstract The hydrosilylation of aldehydes and ketones under mild conditions with hydrido thiophenolato iron(II) complexes [ cis –Fe(H)(SAr)(PMe 3 ) 4 ] ( 1–4 ) as catalysts is reported using (EtO) 3 SiH as an efficient reducing agent in the yields up to 95%. Among them complex 1 is the best catalyst. Complex 1 could also be used as catalyst to reduce the α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds selectively to the α,β-unsaturated alcohols in high yields.
