Reductive elimination of 1,2-dibromides with sodium borohydrides

Sodium trimethoxyborohydride or a 1:3 mixture of sodium borohydride and sodium tetramethylborate reacts with a number of vicinal dibromides to form the corresponding olefin. Variable (sometimes good) yields were obtained when the bromine atoms were on secondary or tertiary carbons, but little or no...

Description
Summary:Sodium trimethoxyborohydride or a 1:3 mixture of sodium borohydride and sodium tetramethylborate reacts with a number of vicinal dibromides to form the corresponding olefin. Variable (sometimes good) yields were obtained when the bromine atoms were on secondary or tertiary carbons, but little or no olefin was detected when one bromine was primary.
