(Tributylphosphoranylidene)acetonitrile is a stabilized trialkylphosphorane that can act as a substitute to the diethyl azodicarboxylate and triphenylphosphine (DEAD-TPP) system for Mitsunobu reaction between nucleophiles (HA) and alcohols (ROH) to form RA. It is highly useful when the pKa of the nucleophiles are higher than 11.
