Conjugated double and triple bonds are reduced into alkenes using non-hazardous SmI 2 /H 2 O/amine mixtures as reducing agents in THF. Isolated alkenes are not reduced during these reductions. All the reactions studied are quantitative and are completed in less than five minutes.

In a report appearing elsewhere, our preliminary results on the kinetic acidity of the Spiro& 3]hexadienes are detailed. These studies required a method of preparation of the spirocycles A-2 with the proton at C-6 enriched with tritium. We have found electrolytic reduction at controlled potential in
Indium hydride (Cl 2 InH) generated in situ from a combination of a catalytic amount of indium(III) chloride and sodium borohydride selectively reduces the carbon carbon double bond in conjugated alkenes such as a,a-dicyano olefins, a,b-unsaturated nitriles, cyano esters, cyanophosphonate, diesters
