Abstract

The combination of magnesium in methanol or methanol-d offers an efficient, convenient and selective method for reduction of acetylenic bonds conjugated to esters (but not acids) or to two phenyl groups to the saturated or tetradeuterated derivatives, respectively. The combination of Mg in methanol or methanol-d provides a convenient and effective system for the reduction of acetylenic bonds conjugated to esters or to two phenyl groups to the saturated or tetradeuterated derivatives.
