Table 2. Catalytic Hydrogenation of Alkenes^a.

^aReaction conditions: 3 (0.3 mmol), Mg-1 (4 mol %), H₂ (5 bar), toluene (0.5 mL), 120 °C, 24 h.

^bReaction yields were determined by ¹H NMR using benzyl benzoate as the internal standard. Isolated yields are in parentheses.

^cReaction time was 48 h.

^d7 bar of H₂ and 5 mol % Mg-1 were used.
