Alkenyl bromides by brominative deoxygenation of ketones in one or two steps

Article abstract of DOI:10.1055/s-1993-25986

The conversion of ketones into alkenyl bromides is accomplished in one or two steps by 2,2,2-tribromo-2,2-dihydro-1,3,2-benzodioxaphosphole or by the dibromomethyl methyl ether prepared therefrom. Investigations of the scope and limitations provide some hints for the preparative planning and improvement.
