The catalytic hydrogenation of C=C, C=N, and C=O double bonds by the bulk commodity H2 is dominated by the use of transition metal catalysts. While the low catalyst loading and the broad applicability of these catalysts have paved the way for their success, their generally high price, toxicity, and rareness have discredited some of these transition metal catalysts. Since the start of this century, catalytic procedures for hydrogenation with earth-abundant, cheap, and nontoxic metals and even without any metals have been developed. The hydrogenation of activated (conjugated) alkenes by simple organocalcium catalysts broke the dogma that transition metals are needed for catalytic hydrogenations. This border crossing initiated comprehensive investigations on the application of alkaline earth metal catalysts in the hydrogenation of unsaturated compounds with H2. Although this is still a very young field, the boundaries of their potential and possibilities are continuously shifting.
