Reduction of olefins on solid support using diimide

Article abstract of DOI:10.1016/S0040-4039(98)01490-7

The reduction of solid supported olefinic substrate using diimide is described. The diimide, prepared from sulfonylhydrazide, was found to efficiently reduce the olefinic substrates. Typically, the reaction proceeds in over 90% yield to afford the reduction product cleanly after cleavage from the Wang resin.
