Electroreduction of vicinal dibromides at a stirred mercury cathode produces quantitative yields of olefins under very mild conditions. The resulting stereochemistry suggests that elimination from the trans-periplanar conformation is strongly preferred, if such conformation is accessible. Attempts to intercept a carbanionic inter-mediate were unsuccessful, indicating that the reductive elimination is either synchronous at both reacting cen-ters or nearly so.The reductive elimination of vicinal dibromidesto pro-duce olefins is a venerable reaction which has received limited attention, 2 inasmuch as the product olefin is usu-ally also the starting point for the preparation of the dibromide. Reductive elimination involving zinc3has been exploited in steroid chemistry, 4 and more recently in the preparation of cyclobutadiene dimers. 5 Polarographic studies have shown a marked dependence of half-wave po-tential for the reduction ofvicinal dibromides on the dihedral angle betweenthe C-Br bonds, 6 and theproduct studies of this reaction7 have shown that theoverall pro-cess may be represented as follows.
