•Direct semihydrogenation of alkynes to (E)-alkenes.•Easily handled and inexpensive reducing reagent hypophosphorous acid.•High stereoselectivity.•High functional-group-tolerance.
A facile Ni-catalyzed semihydrogenation of internal alkynes to (E)-alkenes using the cheap and easily handled hypophosphorous acid as a hydrogen donor was described. This reaction is featured by high reaction efficiency to produce the corresponding (E)-alkenes selectively.
Graphical abstractA facile Ni-catalyzed semihydrogenation of internal alkynes to (E)-alkenes using the cheap easily handled hypophosphorous acid as hydrogen donor was described. This reaction is featured by high reaction efficiency affording the corresponding (E)-alkenes with a wide functional-group-tolerance.Figure optionsDownload full-size imageDownload as PowerPoint slide
