Tributhylphosphine-diphenyl disulphide is a self-drying reagent capable of reducing ketoximes and secondary aliphatic nitro compounds to the corresponding imines under strictly anhydrous conditions at room temperature.The imine may be hydrolysed to a ketone, acetylated to give an enamide, reduced to an amine , or captured by hydrogen cyanide to produce an α-amino nitrile.In the case of 1,4-nitro ketones or esters, intramolecular cyclisation leads to pyrroles or pyrrolin-2-ones.Aldoximes and primary nitro compounds are converted into nitriles by the reagent.Hydroxamic acids are reduced to the corresponding amides.

Tributylphosphine-diphenyldisulphide reduces nitroalkanes to imines which can be trapped intramolecularly to give pyrroles.
