An efficient method was developed for the reduction of C-C double bonds and C-C triple bonds with diimide, generated in situ from hydrazine hydrate by oxidation with oxygen. The reduction process proceeded for 24-48 hours with high chemoselectivity and excellent yields. This reduction procedure offers synthetic advantages over metal-catalyzed hydrogenation as well as other systems.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessReductionOxidationHydrazineHydrogenationDiimideArticle255Q3Q3671676WOS:000332212500011
