Nickel(II)Acetate tetrahydrate and sodium borohydride easily reduces a variety of alkenes alkynes and dienes selectively.

Perhaps it can reduce nitroalkenes too?

Haven't looked at it (too tired, lazy and confused right now) but me thinks to reduce nitroalkenes you generally need a strong, fast and nonselective catalyst+reducing agent system under more drastic condidions, not a selective one.

I'm not fat just horizontally disproportionate.

I´ve made and tried both P1- and P2-NiB/NaBH4 and got quite good results from reducing both ketoximes and nitroalkanes, but crap when tried with nitroalkenes.

Can you fuel the above hydrogenation by in situ generation of hydrogen from NaBH4, or do you have to generate it externally?

Both the P1- and P2-NiB were generated externally and the H2(g) internally.
