Abstract

Herein is described an operationally simple process concerning the observation that, following either inter-, or intramolecular Heck olefination, stirring of the so formed substituted alkenyl product under an atmosphere of hydrogen efficiently effects alkene hydrogenation. Overall this two-operation, one-pot “reductive Heck” sequence is notable since direct reductive Heck processes, using additives such as formate salts, are restricted to a limited ...
