In the title reaction, eight vic-dibromides and three vinylene dibromi
des gave the corresponding debromination products (alkenes and alkynes
) at room temperature under neutral condition and an argon atmosphere.
2,3-Dibromosuccinic acid derivatives gave overreduction products or a
n unusual coupling dimer. Copyright (C) 1996 Elsevier Science Ltd
