Abstract
One of the crucial aspects of alkyne semihydrogenation is diastereoselectivity control. In this issue of Chem Catalysis, Werlé et al. described a rhodium-based system that may lead to (Z)- or (E)-alkenes, depending on the solvent. The outer-sphere mechanism was observed for (Z)-semihydrogenation while (Z)→(E) isomerization proceeds via the inner-sphere mechanism.
