Abstract
The selective hydrogenation of the double bond of vinyl epoxides is ca talyzed by either the species generated by treatment of the binuclear palladium complex, [(Bu(2)(t)PH)PdPBu(2)(t)](2) with oxygen, or by the cationic iridium(I) complex, [Ir(CoD)(PPh(3))(PhCN)]BF4, to produce t he corresponding saturated epoxides at room temperature, and with good selectivity.
