A simple, efficient and green protocol for chemoselective reduction of carbon-carbon double bond in conjugated alkenes with Hantzsch esters is described. Without any additional catalysts, a series of conjugated alkenes with strong electron-withdrawing groups were reduced in water with excellent yield. Functional groups such as nitrile, ester, nitro, fluoro, chloro, bromo, furanyl and benzyl are all tolerated by the reaction conditions employed. The Royal Society of Chemistry.
