Abstract

N-Heterocyclic carbenes do it again! [Pd(SIPr)(PCy3)] (1; SIPr=N,N′-(bis(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)imidazolidine), which is stable under H2, was shown to be a highly active catalyst for the hydrogenation of a wide range of alkenes and alkynes. Reactions proceed under mild conditions (relatively low Pd loading, RT, low pressures of H2) even when sterically hindered alkenes (tri- and tetra-substituted) are used.
