Abstract
A convenient and easy-to-use protocol for the Z-selective transfer semihydrogenation of alkynes was developed, using ammonium formate as the hydrogen source and the easily prepared and commercially available, highly stable complex PdCl(η3-C3H5)(IMes) (1) as the (pre)catalyst. Combined with triphenyl posphine as an additional ligand, this system provides a robust catalytic synthetic method that shows little to no over-reduction or isomerization after full substrate conversion. The system allows the direct use of solvents and reagents, as received from the supplier without drying or purification, thus providing a practical method for semihydrogenation of a broad range of alkynes. The mechanism behind these high and enhanced selectivities was determined through a set of kinetic experiments.
