Some useful synthetic applications of (Triphenylphosphine)copperhydride hexamer include stoichiometric and catalytic hydrogenations, chemoselective conjugate reductions, as well as regiospecific and stereoselectiveconjugate hydride reductions.
Stoichiometric reducing agent or catalyst in reduction reactions.
Stryker’s Reagent is a catalyst for conjugate reduction of ortho-substituted cinnamic esters forming copper enolates. Also used as a catalyst in hydrosilation reactions.
Triphenylgermanium hydride is a hydrogen donor.
