Abstract
An unprecedented reduction of alkynes with formic acid can selectively produce cis-, trans-alkenes and alkanes by slightly tuning the reaction conditions via the generation of an alkenylpalladium intermediate and subsequent transformation of this complex in a variety of reactions catalyzed by a combination of Brønsted acid and Pd(0) complex.
