Abstract

Abstract A new methodology for preparing terminal olefins in good yield by dehydrohalogenation of primary alkyl iodide with tetrabutylammonium fluoride in dimethyl sulfoxide at room temperature is presented. Optimization of the mild reaction conditions and assays on various alkyl iodides are described.
