Abstract

An efficient and high-yielding “hydrogen-free” reduction of α, β-unsaturated alkenes was carried out employing Grubbs' catalyst in a non-metathetic role and Et3SiH. Conditions were optimized under microwave irradiation. Application to the solid-phase organic synthesis allows a facile construction of sp3–sp3carbon bonds through a sequential cross metathesis/olefin reduction.
