Abstract

A simple procedure is reported for the stereoselective debromination of vic-dibromides with nickel boride at ambient temperature. Debromination with concomitant reduction of vic- dibromides to give dihydro products in a one-pot reaction is also reported. α, β- Dibromoketones can also be converted to their corresponding alcohols. Key words: debromination, vic-dibromides, stereoselective, reduction, E-alkenes.
