Silyl formates are investigated for the first time as surrogates of hydrosilanes. In the presence of a well‐defined ruthenium catalyst, these reagents are shown to promote the chemoselective reduction of a variety of aldehydes by transfer hydrosilylation. Mechanistic investigations have shown that genuine hydrosilane species are avoided during catalysis. The mechanism involves a sequence of decarboxylation/insertion/transmetallation steps.
