Abstract

A new method for the highly stereoselective cis semihydrogenation of internal alkynes, semihydrogenation of terminal alkynes, reduction of dienes to alkenes, and reduction of alkynes and alkenes to alkanes is described based on in situ generated both Ni (0) nanoparticles and molecular hydrogen.
