Popis: The versatility of the under-utilised (cyanomethylene)tributylphosphorane (CMBP, Tsunoda reagent) was demonstrated on two occasions in a drug discovery context. Firstly, the high reactivity of the phosphorane allowed the alkylation of a weakly acidic pyrazole when standard Mitsunobu conditions were unsuccessful. Secondly, the clean reaction profile generally obtained using CMBP allowed the direct use of the crude mixture in a subsequent Suzuki cross coupling. This reagent has utility when isolation of the Mitsunobu reaction product (e.g. containing a boronate) is not desirable.
