Ra. Aitken et al., DEHALOGENATION OF ORGANIC HALIDES BY FLASH VACUUM PYROLYSIS OVER MAGNESIUM - A VERSATILE SYNTHETIC METHOD, Chemical communications, (13), 1997, pp. 1163-1164
Flash vacuum pyrolysis over magnesium at 600 degrees C results in effi
cient dehalogenation of a variety of organic halides and provides a pr
eparatively useful method for C-C bond formation and other reactions.
