Development of a redox-free mitsunobu reaction exploiting phosphine oxides as precursors to dioxyphosphoranes

The development of the first redox-free protocol for the Mitsunobu reaction is described. This has been achieved by exploiting triphenylphosphine oxide – the unwanted by-product in the conventional Mitsunobu reaction – as the precursor to the active P(V) coupling reagent. Multinuclear NMR studies ar...
