59. 2Zr(H)Cl (0.29 mmol) is suspended in THF (3 mL) under argon at room temperature in a flame-dried round bottom flask. To this suspension is added the substrate (0.24 mmol) in THF (2 mL) also at room temperature. The mixture is stirred until the reaction turns clear usually within 15-30 min. Workup by the addition of silica gel (ca. 3 g) and removal of the solvent in vacuo, followed by elution through a short path silica gel column, affords the aldehyde.
