There are few examples of catalytic transfer hydrogenations of simple alkenes and alkynes that use water as a stoichiometric H or D atom donor. We have found that diboron reagents efficiently mediate the transfer of H or D atoms from water directly onto unsaturated C-C bonds using a palladium catalyst. This reaction is conducted on a broad variety of alkenes and alkynes at ambient temperature, and boric acid is the sole byproduct. Mechanistic experiments suggest that this reaction is made possible by a hydrogen atom transfer from water that generates a Pd-hydride intermediate. Importantly, complete deuterium incorporation from stoichiometric D2O has also been achieved.
Directing Effects in Homogeneous Hydrogenation with PF6

The presence of a ligating group, e.g., OH, CO2Me, C=O, or OMe, on an olefinic substrate is shown to direct the attack of the hydrogenation catalyst PF6/H2/CH2Cl2 from the face of the molecule containing the directing group.Isomerization is a minor side reaction in the cases studied.The origin of this effect is discussed and a model intermediate isolated.
