cis-Semihydrogenation of alkynes with amine borane complexes catalyzed by gold nanoparticles under mild conditions

Abstract

Supported gold nanoparticles catalyze the semihydrogenation of alkynes to alkenes with ammonia borane or amine borane complexes in excellent yields and under mild conditions. Internal alkynes provide cis-alkenes, making this protocol an attractive alternative of the classical Lindlar's hydrogenation.
