A three-component system comprised of a soluble palladium catalyst, hydridosilane, and zinc chloride is capable of efficient conjugate reduction of «,/3-unsaturated ketones and aldehydes. The optimal set of conditions includes diphenylsilane as the most effective hydride donor, any soluble palladium complex in either the 0 or II oxidation state, when it is stabilized by phosphine ligands, and ZnCl2 as the best Lewis acid cocatalyst. The reaction is very general with respect to a broad range of unsaturated ketones and aldehydes, and it is highly selective for these Michael acceptors, as reduction of «,/3-unsaturated carboxylic acid derivatives is very sluggish under these conditions. When dideuteriodiphenylsilane is used to reduce unsaturated ketones, deuterium is stereoselectively introduced at the less-hindered face of the substrate and regioselectively at the/3-position. Conversely, when reductions are carried out in the presence of traces of D20, deuterium incorporation occurs at the «-position. On the basis of deuterium-incorporation experiments and NMR studies, a catalytic cycle is postulated in which the first step involves reversible coordination of the palladium complex to the electron-deficient olefin and oxidative addition of silicon hydride to form a hydridopalladium olefin complex. Migratory insertion of hydride into the coordinated olefin produces an intermediate palladium enolate which, via reductive elimination, collapses back to the Pd (0) complex and a silyl enol ether, which is then hydrolyzed to the saturated ketone. In addition to catalyzing that hydrolysis, ZnCl2 facilitates the hydrosilation process.
