Abstract

Based on our recent findings in the area of zirconocene hydride catalysis, we have identified a mild and chemoselective strategy for the formal semi-hydrogenation of terminal alkynes utilizing catalytic quantities of Schwartz's reagent or Cp2ZrCl2. This protocol accommodates a variety of functional groups, delivering monosubstituted alkenes bearing ester, nitrile, epoxy, amino, halo, sulfide and hydroxyl groups.
