Abstract
A bench-stable cationic bis(σ-B-H) aminoborane iron complex efficiently catalyzes the semihydrogenation of internal alkynes, 1,3-diynes and 1,3-enynes. The catalytic reaction takes place under mild conditions in 1 h, and alkenes were obtained with high Z-selectivity for a broad scope of substrates.
