vic-Dibromo-, α-halo-, or α,α-dibromocarbonyl compounds can be efficiently dehalogenated using catalytic tris(2,2′-bipyridyl) ruthenium dichloride (Ru(bpy)3Cl2) in combination with 1,5-dimethoxynaphthalene (DMN) and ascorbate as sacrificial electron donor. For this process, a visible light promoted photocatalytic cycle is proposed that involves the reduction of carbon halogen bonds via free radical intermediates.
