Abstract

Abstract : By combining visible light catalysis and transfer hydrogenation, we are able to convert a series of alkynes to their corresponding alkenes in high chemical yields. Abstract : By combining visible light catalysis and transfer hydrogenation, we are able to convert a series of alkynes to their corresponding alkenes in high chemical yields. Then the visible light catalytic transfer hydrogenation reaction can couple photoisomerization to produce E -alkenes or Z -alkenes exclusively depending on the aryl or alkyl substituted alkynes.
