Abstract
Activated olefins of the type Ph2CCXY (X and Y being electronegative substituents) reacted in tetrahydrofuran a low temperature with lithium amides having a hydrogen atom at C-α, to give the corresponding saturated derivatives. The reduction took place by a transfer of a hydride ion from the amide to the activated double bond.Keywords
