Activated olefins of the type Ph2C![[double bond, length half m-dash]](https://www.rsc.org/images/entities/char_e006.gif)
CXY (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.
