Title
A simple and straightforward approach toward selective C=C bond reduction by hydrazine.
Abstract
A simple and straightforward method for reducing the C=C double bond with hydrazine is described. A number of representative C=C bonds in various steric and electronic environments were examined. Substituted alkenes can be selectively reduced in EtOH in the presence of hydrazine to give the corresponding products in up to 100% yields.
