Abstract

Organic reduction reactions are one of the most basic chemical reactions, which are widely used in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, agriculture chemicals, dye industry and fine chemicals. Common reducing agents mainly include hydrogen, metallic compounds (borohydride, lithium aluminum hydride, alkyl aluminium and low-valence metals, etc.), active metals, silane and hydrazine. Phosphorus acid is a common chemical in industry, it is also cheap, easy to access, and easy to use. At present, reactions using phosphorus acid as reducing agents usually do not require transition-metals, and has the advantages of low-cost, simple conditions and simple work-up procedures. However, compared with the extensive application of those common reducing agents in organic reduction reactions, the organic reactions using phosphorus acid as reducing agent are very limited. Organic reduction reactions which are using phosphorus acid as reducing agent are summarized from aspects of reaction type, the scope of substrate and reaction mechanism. Prospects in this field are also discussed.
