The react ions of alkenes and alkynes with L1AIH4 inadmixture with first-row transition-metal halides have been studied in detail. When L1AIH4 and T1CI3, VC13, CrCl3, FeCl2, FeCl3, CoCl2, or NiCl2 were mixed in equimolar quantities, alkenes were reduced inquantitative yield to the corresponding alkanes. However, when the transitionmetal halide was used in catalytic amount, only CoCl2, NiCl2, and TiCl3 were effective in reducing olefins to alkanes in high yield. 1-Methylcyclohexene (a trisubstituted olefin), which is reduced only poorly by hydrozirconation or LiAlH4-TiCl3, was reduced inquantitative yield by LiAlH4-CoCl2 and LiAlH4-NiCl2. The following olefins were reduced to the corresponding alkanes in quantitative yield by one or more transition-metal halides in admixture with LiAlH4: 1-octene, 1-hexene, cis-2-hexene, trans-2-hexene, styrene, cyclohexene, and 2-ethylhexene. Phenylacetylene was reduced quantitatively to styrene using LiAlH4-FeCl2 or to ethylbenzene when LiAlH4-NiCl2 was used. Diphenylacetylene could be reduced to cis-stilbene in the absence of trans-stilbene by LiAlH4-NiCl2. 1-Oct-yne could be reduced to octane in quantitative yield by LiAlH4-FeCl2 or to 1-octeneby LiAlH4-NiCl2. Deuterium incorporation studies indicate that the intermediate transition-metal alkyls formed in these reactions are not sta-ble, as only 12-47% deuterium incorporation is observed except when TiCl3 is used as the catalyst.
