An efficient and high-yielding "hydrogen-free" reduction of α,β-unsaturated alkenes was carried out employing Grubbs' catalyst in a non-metathetic role and Et3SiH. Conditions were optimized under microwave irradiation. Application to the solid-phase organic synthesis allows a facile construction of sp3-sp3 carbon bonds through a sequential cross metathesis/olefin reduction.
