Abstract
Z-olefins are important functional units in synthetic chemistry; their preparation has thus received considerable attention. Many prevailing methods for cis-olefination are complicated by the presence of multiple unsaturated units or electrophilic functional groups. In this study, Z-olefins are delivered through selective reduction of activated dienes using formic acid. The reaction proceeds with high regio- and stereoselectivity (typically >90:10 and >95:5, respectively) and preserves other alkenyl, alkynyl, protic, and electrophilic groups.
