The addition of NaBH 4 to Pd(OAc) 2 in water containing nanomicelles leads to the generation of H 2 and Pd nanoparticles. Subsequent reduction of disubstituted alkynes affords Z ‐alkenes in high yields. These reactions are general, take place in water at ambient temperatures, and offer recycling of the aqueous reaction mixture along with low overall E Factors.
