    Abstract

    We report an unprecedented type of reactivity of 'anhydrous potassium hydroxide' ('APH') in which it plays, over a large variety of related educts, sequentially the role of base and nucleophile. Some insight into the structure of reactive species as well as comparative reactivity of related reagents prepared by fusion of commercially available potassium hydroxide or by adding stoichiometric amount of water to potassium hydride is provided.
