Abstract

Summary: Treatment of alkenes or alkynes at ambient temperature with triethoxysilane and 5 mol% of palladium (I1) acetate in a mixture of tetrahydrofuran and water affords the corresponding hydrogenated products. Excellent chemosclectivities and stereoselectivities can be obtained using this process.
