1,3,2‐Diazaphospholenes Catalyze the Conjugate Reduction of Substituted Acrylic Acids

Nicolai Cramer, John Henry Reed

The potent nucleophilicity and remarkably low basicity of 1,3,2- diazaphospholenes (DAPs) is exploited in a catalytic, metal-free 1,4-reduction of free ,-unsaturated carboxylic acids. Notably, the reduction occurs without a prior deprotonation of the car ...
