Characteristic functions of arene·Cr (CO) 3 complexes as catalysts for the hydrogenation of multiple bonds such as 1, 3-dienes (to internal monoenes), alkynes (to cis-alkenes), and α, β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds (to saturated analogs) are reviewed. Application of these hydrogenation reactions to highly stereoselective syntheses of biologically significant substances such as carbacyclins and pheromone are also described.
