F-DIAD is the fluorous equivalent of DIAD or DEAD and can be used in Mitsunobu reactions in conjunction with an appropriate phosphine. The phosphine can be traditional triphenylphosphine, a fluorous phosphine, or even a solid supported phosphine. When used together with the appropriate fluorous phosphine, a single fluorous separation, either F-SPE or liquid-liquid extraction, can effect separation of both the phosphine oxide and the hydrazine byproducts. A range of acidic nucleophiles including carboxylic acids, phenols, and phthalimides can be used. In addition the F-DIAD is thermally more stable than DIAD or DEAD.
