Characterization data of aldehydes S4-S9 5. 1 H NMR and 13 C{ 1 H} NMR spectra of acetals 2a and 2q S-S11 6. 1 H NMR and 13 C{ 1 H} NMR spectra of aldehydes S12-S32 General remarks All manipulations were carried out using standard Schlenk, high-vacuum, and glovebox techniques. Argon was purified by passing through columns of BASF R3-11 catalyst (Chemalog) and 4 Å molecular sieves. Benzene-d 6, toluene-d 8 and CD 2 Cl 2 (Cambridge Isotope Laboratories) were used without purification. All silanes were purchased from Aldrich and Gelest and stored under argon over 4 Å molecular sieves. All carboxylic acid substrates were purchased from commercial sources and usually used without further purification except for -decanoic acid, 9- undecynoic acid and 2-thiopheneacetic acid which were sublimed. Technical grade petroleum

S2 ether (- C bp.), ethyl acetate and dichloromethane were used for chromatography. B(C 6 F 5 ) 3 was purchased from Acros and Gelest and dried by mixing with Me 2 Si(Cl)H for 1 h followed by evaporation under vacuum. NMR spectra were recorded on Bruker spectrometers (DRX-, AVANCE- and AVANCE-). 1 H and 13 C NMR spectra were referenced to residual solvent peaks. General procedures for the selective reduction of carboxylic acids to aldehydes catalyzed by B(C 6 F 5 ) 3 From aliphatic carboxylic acids (procedure A): To a J. Young NMR tube was added RCO 2 H (.5 mmol), C 6 D 6 (.3 ml), and R' 3 SiH (1.15 mmol, 2.3 equiv) in a glovebox. A stock solution of B(C 6 F 5 ) 3 was previously prepared by dissolving 26 g (5 mmol) of B(C 6 F 5 ) 3 in 3 ml of C 6 D 6. From 15 µl (5 mol %) to µl (1 mol %) was added to the reaction mixture. (When 2 mol % of B(C 6 F 5 ) 3 was used, the powder was first added into the J. Young NMR tube). The reaction was initiated at 23 C and followed by 1 H NMR spectroscopy. At the end of the reaction, the crude reaction mixture was transferred from the NMR tube to a Schlenk flask and all volatiles (solvent + excess of silane) were removed under vacuum. A1: For substrates 1a, 1b, 1h, 1j, 1k, 1m, 1n: Following the above procedure, 2 ml of THF was added, followed by 2 ml of 1 M HCl(aq) with vigorous stirring. The reaction mixture was further stirred for 3 h at room temperature and was extracted with diethyl ether (3 ml). The combined organic layers were dried over anhydrous MgSO 4, filtered and concentrated under vacuum. The residue was then purified by silica gel column chromatography using an ethyl acetate/petroleum ether mixture (1/) to afford the desired product. A2: For substrates 1c, 1d, 1e, 1f, 1g, 1i, 1l, 1o (volatile or sensitive aldehydes) : Following the above procedure, the reaction mixture was diluted with 2.5 ml EtOH, and to the mixture was added under vigorous stirring Brady s reagent [.15 g of 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine (% H 2 O),.5 ml of concentrated H 2 SO 4,.75 ml of H 2 O, and 2.5 ml of EtOH]. 1 A yellow or orange precipitate was formed immediately. The solid was collected through filtration using a glass frits and washed with H 2 O. Pure product was obtained by recrystallization from EtOH. From aromatic carboxylic acids (procedure B, substrates 1q, 1r, 1t, 1u, 1v, 1w): To a J. Young NMR tube was added B(C 6 F 5 ) 3 (2 mol %, 52 g), RCO 2 H (.5 mmol), and Ph 3 SiH (1.25 1 M. Behforouz, J. L. Bolan, M. S. Flynt, J. Org. Chem. 1985,, 1186-1189.

S3 mmol, 2.5 equiv,.326 g), followed by CD 2 Cl 2 (.6 ml) in a glove box. The hydrosilylation reaction was conducted at 23 C and monitored by 1 H NMR spectroscopy. At the end of the reaction, the crude reaction mixture was filtered through a plug of silica gel with CH 2 Cl 2 as an eluent in order to remove B(C 6 F 5 ) 3 and the filtrate was evaporated. Then 2.5 ml of Et 2 O was added followed by.5 ml of trifluoroacetic acid (99%) with vigorous stirring. The reaction mixture was stirred for 1.5 hour at room temperature and 2.5 ml of Et 2 O was added. The reaction was stirred for another 1.5 h followed by addition of 4 ml of H 2 O and extracted with diethyl ether (3 ml). The combined organic layers were dried over anhydrous MgSO 4, filtered and concentrated under vacuum. The yield of the aldehyde was first determined by 1 H NMR of the crude mixture using EtOAc (.5 mmol, 49 µl) as an internal standard in CD 2 Cl 2. For the substrates 1r, 1t, 1u, the residue was then purified by silica gel column chromatography using a CH 2 Cl 2 / petroleum ether mixture (4/) to afford the desired product. For the substrate 1s: the procedure A1 was followed.
