<jats:title>Displacing OH groups catalytically</jats:title> <jats:p> The Mitsunobu reaction is widely used to invert the configuration of alcohols. However, its major drawback is the need to activate the alcohol with a full equivalent of phosphine, thereby generating a phosphine oxide co-product. Beddoe <jats:italic>et al.</jats:italic> report a phosphine oxide compound that achieves the same result catalytically (see the Perspective by Longwitz and Werner). The key is a phenol substituent that can reversibly bond through its oxygen to phosphorus, forming a ring that the alcohol opens. The phosphorus thus remains in the +5 oxidation state throughout the reaction, and water is the only by-product. </jats:p> <jats:p> <jats:italic>Science</jats:italic> , this issue p. <jats:related-article xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" ext-link-type="doi" issue="6456" page="910" related-article-type="in-this-issue" vol="365" xlink:href="10.1126/science.aax3353">910</jats:related-article> ; see also p. <jats:related-article xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" ext-link-type="doi" issue="6456" page="866" related-article-type="in-this-issue" vol="365" xlink:href="10.1126/science.aay6635">866</jats:related-article> </jats:p>
