The mechanism of reduction of 1,1-diphenyl-2,2-dinitroethylene (DPDN) by 1-benzyl-1,4-dihydronicotinamide (BNAH) in acetonitrile has been investigated. Based on product analysis, isotopic tracing and electrochemical analysis, the reaction takes place by a hydride transfer mechanism giving 1,1-diphenyl-2,2-dinitroethane (DPDNH). Single crystal X-ray analysis shows that DPDN conforms to idealized C 2 symmetry, but steric repulsions between the bulky substituents result in ...
