Alkyne Semihydrogenation with a Well-Defined Nonclassical Co–H2 Catalyst: A H2 Spin on Isomerization and E‑Selectivity

The reactivity of a CoI–H2 complex was extended toward the semihydrogenation of internal alkynes. Under ambient temperatures and moderate pressures of H2, a broad scope of alkynes were semihydrogenated using a CoI-N2 precatalyst, resulting in the formation of trans-alkene products. Furthermore, mech...
