Significance
Allenes are very important scaffolds in organic chemistry and have been widely used as intermediates for the synthesis of biologically relevant compounds (see book below). Despite many attempts, their selective hydrogenation remains a difficult task. In the present paper, the authors apply the catalyst system that they use for alkyne hydrogenation (M. W. v. Laren, C. J. Elsevier Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 1999, 38, 3715-3717) to the selective semihydrogenation of 1,2-allenyl phosphonates.
