Abstract

Abstract Treatment of water-soluble alkenes or alkynes with palladium (II) acetate and triethoxysilane at room temperature afforded the corresponding hydrogenated products in high yields. Simple introduction of a stoichiometric amount of hydrogen is accomplished by using triethoxysilane as the hydrogen source.
