Abstract
A non-hazordous and mild protocol was developed for an efficient reduction of alkenes to alkanes using "iron-activated water" and catalytic Pd/C (2.5mol%). Water functions as a hydrogen source without any external acid or base and in the absence of another solvent. The Pd/C catalyst was recovered and recycled. In the course of the reaction zero valent iron is oxidized to magnetite.
