Abstract
An unexpected samarium metal mediated chemoselective debromination and reduction of 1,1-dibromo-1-alkenes in methanol has been developed, which generates vinyl monobromides, alkenes, and alkanes respectively with appropriate molar ratio of samarium to 1,1-dibromo-1-alkene.
Key words
samarium metal - 1,1-dibromo-1-alkenes - debromination - reduction - methanol

Commun. 1992, 219 - Generation of alkylidenecarbenes from 1,1-dibromo-1-alkenes by the reaction with samarium diiodide in hexamethylphosphoric triamide-benzene has been reported and the rearranged alkynes was generated. See ref. 14 for details. Also generation of alkylidenecarbenes from 1,1-dibromo-1-alkenes by the the reaction with organolithiums or organozincates has been reported. See:
