Electrochemically Supported Deoxygenation of Epoxides into Alkenes in Aqueous Solution

Abstract: An efficient synthesis of alkenes from epoxides in a mixture of saturated aqueous NH(4)Br and tetrahydrofuran (8:1) has been developed in an undivided cell fitted with a pair of zinc electrodes, and it is proposed that the reaction is mediated by Zn(0) with a hierarchically organized nanostructure.

“…Acetophenone (8a a side-product originating from epoxide 5a) formed in 5% yield presumably via β-hydride elimination, while styrene (10a) forms in 30% yield from intermediate alcohol 9. 39 Finally, the reductive elimination in the nickel cycle may account for the observed small amount of biphenyl 11. [40][41][42] Substrate scope -With the optimized conditions in hand, we explored the scope and limitations of the developed method.…”
