Many biologically active molecules incorporate carbon− carbon double bond (s) with well-
defined configurations (E or Z), such as β-carotene, 1 polyene antifungal drugs, 2, 3 …

Transition metal complexes with sulfur ligands are active catalysts in a considerable number
of homogeneous reactions, although they have been less investigated than complexes with …

A general manganese catalyzed chemoselective semihydrogenation of alkynes to olefins in
the presence of molecular hydrogen is described. The best results are obtained by applying …

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 …

A highly stereoselective alkyne semihydrogenation with copper (I) complexes is reported.
Copper–N‐heterocyclic carbene complex catalysts, bearing an intramolecular Cu O bond …

Copper (I)/N-heterocyclic carbene complexes enable a transfer semihydrogenation of
alkynes employing simple and readily available alcohols such as isopropanol. The practical …

We report herein the homogeneous manganese catalyzed transfer semihydrogenation of
internal alkynes to E-alkenes using iPrOH as the hydrogen source. Manganese-based …

A Brønsted acid Ph2P (O) OH can efficiently catalyze the reaction of a Pd (0) complex with
an alkyne to produce a novel alkenyl (alkynyl) palladium complex via selective …
