Abstract

A number of alcohols and enolate anions were deoxygenated by reduction of the corresponding diethylphosphate or tetramethyl-phosphorodiamidate esters. Lithium-amine solutions were successful reducing agents in most cases, and, in addition, tetramethyl-phosphorodiamidate esters were cleaved by the adduct of lithium and biphenyl in tetrahydrofuran.
