Abstract

The debromination of vic-dibromides to alkenes is a valuable synthetic transformation in organic chemistry as a double bond protection-deprotection strategy. 1 Accordingly, a good number of methodologies have been developed for the debromination of vic-dibromides to alkenes. 2 However, many of these methods lack the desired chemoselectivity when other reducible functional groups are present and often require long reaction times, or involve ...
