A one-pot, three-step strategy for the regioselective semihydrogenation of dienes is described. This procedure uses 9-BBN-H as a temporary protective group for alkenes. Yields range from 55% to 95%, and the reaction is tolerant of a variety of common functional groups. Additionally, the final elimination step of the sequence can be replaced with a peroxide-mediated alkylborane oxidation, generating regioselectively semihydrogenated product alcohols.

The first earth-abundant transition metal Ni-catalyzed highly regio- and enantioselective semihydrogenation of racemic tetrasubstituted allenes via a kinetic resolution process as a challenging task was well established. This protocol furnishes expedient access to a diversity of structurally important enantioenriched tetrasubstituted allenes and chiral allylic molecules with high regio-, enantio-, and /-selectivity. Remarkably, this semihydrogenation proceeded with one carbon-carbon double bond of allenes, which was regioselective complementary to the Rh-catalyzed asymmetric version.

The manganese(ii) complex [Mn(PNP)Cl] (PNP = 2,6-bis(diisopropylphosphinomethyl)pyridine) was found to catalyze the stereo- and regioselective hydroboration of terminal alkynes employing HBPin (pinacolborane). In the absence of activators, mixtures of alkynylboronate and -alkenylboronate esters were formed, whereas when NaHBEt was employed as the activator, -alkenylboronate esters were exclusively accessed. Mechanistic studies revealed a tandem C-H borylation/semihydrogenation pathway accounting for the formation of the products.

Highly chemo- and regioselective semihydrogenation of alkynes is significant and challenging for the synthesis of functionalized alkenes. Here, a sequential self-template method is used to synthesize amorphous palladium sulfide nanocapsules (PdS ANCs), which enables electrocatalytic semihydrogenation of terminal alkynes in HO with excellent tolerance to easily reducible groups (e.g.

It is challenging to establish single metal atoms with a uniform coordination environment at targeted sites of a zeolite. In this study, single platinum atoms were selectively encaged in the six-membered rings of sodalite (SOD) cages within Y zeolite using a template-guiding strategy. During the in situ synthesis process, template molecules were designed to occupy supercages and thereby force coordinated platinum species into SOD cages.

Bimetallic catalysts of nickel(0) with a trivalent rare-earth ion or Ga(III), NiML (where L is [PrPCHNPh], and M is Sc, Y, La, Lu, or Ga), were investigated for the selective hydrogenation of diphenylacetylene (DPA) to ()-stilbene. Each bimetallic complex features a relatively short Ni-M bond length, ranging from 2.3395(8) Å (Ni-Ga) to 2.
