A series of stilbenes has been synthesised in one pot from benzyl alcohols and benzylidenetriphenylphosphorane through a Wittig-type olefination reaction in the presence of nickel nanoparticles. Georg Thieme Verlag Stuttgart.

The use of copper(0) nanoparticles in the transfer semihydrogenation of alkynes has been investigated as a lead-free alternative to Lindlar catalysts. A stereo-selective methodology for the hydrogenation of internal alkynes to the corresponding (Z)-alkenes in high isolated yields (86% average) has been developed. This green and sustainable transfer hydrogenation protocol relies on non-noble copper nanoparticles for reduction of both electron-rich and electron-deficient, aliphatic-substituted and aromatic- substituted internal alkynes. Polyols, such as ethylene glycol and glycerol, have been proven to act as hydrogen sources, and excellent stereo- and chemoselectivity have been observed. Enabling technologies, such as microwave and ultrasound irradiation are shown to enhance heat and mass transfer, whether used alone or in combination, resulting in a decrease in reaction time from hours to minutes.

Chromium complexes have found very little applications as hydrogenation catalysts. Here, we report a Cr-catalyzed semi-hydrogenation of internal alkynes to the corresponding Z-alkenes with good stereocontrol (up to 99/1 for dialkyl alkynes). The catalyst comprises the commercial reagents chromium(III) acetylacetonate, Cr(acac)3, and diisobutylaluminium hydride, DIBAL?H, in THF. The semi-hydrogenation operates at mild conditions (1-5 bar H2, 30 °C).
