1-ETHYLPIPERIDINE HYPOPHOSPHITE

Reagent for:
Synthesis of spiroketals via intramolecular iodoetherification
A facile radical cyclization diverted to a rearrangement-cyclization with base
Radical deoxygenation
Synthesis of allylic H-phosphinates

1-Ethylpiperidine hypophosphite promotes the carbon-carbon bond forming radical reactions in both aqueous and organic media. EPHP plays an important role of a good chain carrier during the radical addition of gem-dihalocompounds to electron-deficient olefins. It has been reported as a suitable radical reducing agent for organic halides.
