Abstract
A highly stereoselective alkyne semihydrogenation with copper(I) complexes is reported. Copper-N-heterocyclic carbene complex catalysts, bearing an intramolecular Cu-O bond, allow for the direct transfer of both hydrogen atoms from dihydrogen to the alkyne. The corresponding alkenes can be isolated with high Z selectivity and negligible overreduction to the alkane.Entities:
