The first base metal-catalyzed transfer hydrogenation of alkynes with methanol is described. An air and moisture stablemanganesepincer complex catalyzes the reduction of a variety of different alkynes to the corresponding (Z)-olefins in high yields. The reaction is stereo- and chemoselective and scalable.
