Beddoe, R. H., Sneddon, H. F., & Denton, R. M. (2018). The catalytic Mitsunobu reaction: a critical analysis of the current state-of-the-art. Organic and Biomolecular Chemistry, 42(16), 7774-7781. https://doi.org/10.1039/c8ob01929k

The Mitsunobu reaction is widely regarded as the pre-eminent method for performing nucleophilic substitutions of alcohols with inversion of configuration. However, its applicability to large-scale synthesis is undermined by the fact that alcohol acti...
