Abstract

An efficient synthesis of alkenes from epoxides in a mixture of saturated aqueous NH4Br and tetrahydrofuran (8: 1) has been developed in an undivided cell fitted with a pair of zinc electrodes, and it is proposed that the reaction is mediated by Zn (0) with a hierarchically organized nanostructure.
