Dehalogenation of organic halides by flash vacuum pyrolysis over magnesium: a versatile synthetic method

Abstract

Flash vacuum pyrolysis over magnesium at 600 °C results in efficient dehalogenation of a variety of organic halides and provides a preparatively useful method for C–C bond formation and other reactions.
