Abstract: The present invention relates to a catalytic process for the partial reduction of esters or lactones to silyl acetals, which upon hydrolysis give aldehydes, using silanes as reducing agents, preferably triethylsilane (TESH) or 1,1,3,3-tetramethyldisiloxane (TMDS), in the presence of novel triaryl borane type catalysts. More specifically, the present invention relates to novel triaryl borane type catalyst compounds of formula (I) which can be applied for the partial reduction of an ester or lactone to a silyl acetal. In the formula R1, R?1, R5, R?5 and R6 are groups having small steric demand and R10 is a group having large steric demand.

Abstract: wherein R1, R2, R3, R4, R5, n and Q are as defined in the description.

Abstract: In an aspect, a kit of parts for an electrical connector, which includes a plurality of housing portions, a first male terminal and a second male terminal, and an output device. The plurality of housing portions are mateable together to form a housing. The printed circuit board positionable in the housing. The male terminals are connected to the printed circuit board and are positioned to connect to an electrical power source. The output device is connected to the printed circuit board. The printed circuit board is connectable to an electrical conduit and is configured to electrically connect the electrical conduit to the male terminals, and contains a microprocessor that is programmed to indicate via the output device at least one property of a circuit formed with the electrical connector and the electrical power source.
