Nonetheless, major advances are still hampered by the kinetic inertness of CO$_2$ and efficient catalysts are still to be needed to promote the reduction of CO$_2$ to reduced products, such as methanol. We have recently shown that formic acid (HCOOH), obtained from the 2-electron reduction of CO$_2$, can serve as an efficient C-H bond shuttle and reductant in the reduction of CO$_2$ to methanol. Using ruthenium(ll) complexes, supported by a triphosphine ligand, formic acid can undergo a disproportionation reaction to methanol in high yields. In the presence of chlorosilanes, the same catalytic system is able to facilitate the reduction of aldehydes and CO$_2$, exemplifying the role of formoxysilane in transfer hydrosilylation chemistry for the first time. %G English %2 https://cea.hal.science/cea-02341704/document %2 https://cea.hal.science/cea-02341704/file/Cantat_ACSSpring2017a.pdf %L cea-02341704 %U https://cea.hal.science/cea-02341704 %~ CEA %~ CNRS %~ PUBNIMBE %~ INC-CNRS %~ IRAMIS-NIMBE %~ CEA-UPSAY %~ UNIV-PARIS-SACLAY %~ CEA-UPSAY-SACLAY %~ TEST-HALCNRS %~ GS-ENGINEERING %~ IRAMIS %~ GS-CHIMIE %~ GS-PHYSIQUE %~ INSTITUT-SCIENCES-LUMIERE %~ TEST2-HALCNRS
