Abstract

Unsaturated hydrocarbons can easily be prepared in a few seconds starting from 1, 2 dibromides in the presence of a catalytic amount of Nickel diphenylphosphinoethane dichloride (NidppeCl2) and tri. n. butyl tin hydride,(TBTH) at room temperature. The dependencie of the nature of starting dihalides is investigated.
