Modification of the properties of a compound can be achieved by careful selection of the substituents, the groups attached to the parent structure. Among the multitude of substituents, amino groups, by virtue of their strong pi-donating properties, have been the most heavily used in applications where a more electron rich parent structure is required. We have recently demonstrated that, in contrast to the widespread belief that amino groups are the premier pi-donor substituent, iminophosphorano substituents (R3P=N-) are even stronger in this regard. We exploited this property to prepare the most powerful neutral organic electron donors, which act as homogeneous reducing agents. In complementarity to metal-based reagents, such organic reducing agents hold the promise of allowing for alternate reaction pathways, more mild conditions, and less environmental load. Nevertheless, substrate scope is limited and the reducing strength of many metal reagents greatly surpasses what is possible with the best organic reductants.

化合物的性质可以通过仔细选择取代基、连接到母体结构的基团来实现。在众多的取代基中，氨基凭借其强大的给聚酰亚胺的性质，在需要更富电子的母体结构的应用中得到了最广泛的应用。我们最近证明，与人们普遍认为氨基是首要的pi-给体取代基相反，亚胺基磷取代基(R3P=N-)在这方面甚至更强。我们利用这一性质制备了功能最强的中性有机电子给体，作为均相的还原剂。作为对基于金属的试剂的补充，这种有机还原剂有望允许替代的反应途径，更温和的条件和更少的环境负荷。然而，底物范围有限，许多金属试剂的还原强度远远超过最好的有机还原剂。
