Oxidodiperoxymolybdenum(pyridine)(hexamethylphosphoric triamide) 1 (MoOPH, Vedejs reagent, Mimoun complex) is a versatile enolate anion hydroxylating reagent first realized by Vedejs. MoOPH swiftly hydroxylates anions from lactones, ketones, esters, aldehydes, nitriles, sulfones, amides, phenols, and isoxazolines. Beyond functionalizing a wide array of substrates, MoOPH carries out oxidations with excellent regio- and stereoselectivity.
