Abstract Herein, we report an electroreduction of unactivated alkyl alkenes enabled by [Fe]-H, which is provided through the combination anodic iron salts and silane generated in situ via cathodic reduction, using H 2 O as H-source. The catalytic amounts Si-additive work H-carrier from to generate a highly active species under continuous electrochemical conditions. This approach shows broad substrate scope good functional group compatibility. In addition hydrogenation, use D instead provides desired deuterated products yields with excellent D-incorporation (up >99%). Further late-stage hydrogenation complex molecules drug derivatives demonstrate potential application pharmaceutical industry. Mechanistic studies are performed provide support for proposed mechanistic pathway.
