Less is more : Significant advancements have been made in recent years in the development of the E ‐selective, catalytic, functional‐group‐tolerant semihydrogenation of alkynes to E ‐alkenes through transition‐metal catalysis (see scheme). For this type of catalysis, the use of mononuclear metal catalysts is superior to that of multinuclear metal catalysts.
