Electrocatalytic hydrogenation of alkynes has emerged as a sustainable route to convert carbon–carbon triple bonds into alkenes under ambient conditions. By harnessing protons and electrons from water ...

Organic chemists aim to separate alkenes such as ethylene and propene from alkynes before converting them into polymers. The technique has several drawbacks including hydrogenation of alkynes to ...

Selective hydrogenation of alkynes to alkenes on the surface of palladium is a process that has been used industrially for many years. It sounds like a straightforward reaction, but why it stops after ...

A catalyst that helps convert alkynes into alkenes could offer a more efficient and greener way to achieve the tricky industrial transformation (ACS Catal. 2024, DOI: 10.1021/acscatal.4c00310). The ...
