Method for hydrogenolysis of halides

The invention discloses a method for hydrogenolysis of halides. The invention discloses a preparation method of a compound represented by a formula I. The preparation method comprises the following step: in a polar aprotic solvent, zinc, H2O and a compound represented by a formula II are subjected to a reaction as shown in the specification, wherein X is halogen; Y is -CHRR or R; hydrogenin H2O exists in the form of natural abundance or non-natural abundance. According to the preparation method, halide hydrogenolysis can be simply, conveniently and efficiently achieved through a simple and mild reaction system, and good functional group compatibility and substrate universality are achieved.

A mild, palladium-catalyzed method for the dehydrohalogenation of alkyl bromides: Synthetic and mechanistic studies

We have exploited a typically undesired elementary step in cross-coupling reactions, β-hydride elimination, to accomplish palladium-catalyzed dehydrohalogenations of alkyl bromides to form terminal olefins. We have applied this method, which proceeds in excellent yield at room temperature in the presence of a variety of functional groups, to a formal total synthesis of (R)-mevalonolactone. Our mechanistic studies have established that the rate-determining step can vary with the structure of the alkyl bromide and, most significantly, that L2PdHBr (L = phosphine), an intermediate that is often invoked in palladium-catalyzed processes such as the Heck reaction, is not an intermediate in the active catalytic cycle.
