Regio- and Stereo-specific Reduction of Conjugated and Non-conjugated Triple Bonds by Activated Zinc Powder
Aerssens, Marc H. P. J.,Brandsma, Lambert
, p. 735 - 736 (1984)
Regio- as well as stereo-specific reductions of a wide variety of acetylenic derivatives have been carried out in absolute ethanol with zinc powder activated with 1,2-dibromoethane, and with zinc powder activated successively with dibromoethane and copper(I) bromide, the first reagent being less powerful and more selective than the second one.

Regio- as well as stereospecific cis-reductions of a wide variety of acetylenic derivatives can be carried out in absolute ethanol with zinc powder activated with 1,2-dibromoethane and with zinc power treated successively with dibromoethane and lithium bromocuprate, the first reagent being less powerful and more selective than the second one.
