Jesse Mai's imagination of the reduction of ketones to alcohols by 1-hydrosilatrane. The accompanying work describes this mild method for reduction, which makes use of a cheap, safe, easy-to-handle, and environmentally friendly silane reducing reagent. The reported results include the conversion of a wide scope of ketones to alcohols, as well as demonstrations of stereoselective reductions: the diastereoselective reduction of (–)-menthone to (+)-neomenthol and the reduction of a prochiral ketone to an alcohol with an enantiomeric ratio of 87:13. Details are discussed in the Communication by M. J. Adler et al. on page 229 ff (DOI:
