Selective Reduction of the CarbonBromine Bond in Bromo Epoxides

TLDR
The controlledpotential electrolysis of various substituted bromo epoxides in acetonitrile at a mercury pool electrode led to selective reduction of the carbon-bromine bond affording the respective epoxide products in 80-90% yield.

Palladium-catalyzed hydrodehalogenations by fluoride activated polymethylhydrosiloxane

TL;DR: Evidence is suggested that the reduction of bromostyrene proceeds differently than previously described, and the hydrodehalogenations described herein are amine free and can be carried out in THF with relatively low loads of catalyst.

Regioselective ring-opening of epoxides by carbazole: a direct preparation of novel N-(β-hydroxyalkyl)carbazoles

TL;DR: In this paper, the influence of various parameters including solvent, base and temperature on the reaction between carbazole and epoxides was studied, which led to the development of a regioselective ring-opening mechanism.

Proton-transfer reactions in the cathodic reduction of bromohydrins in neutral aprotic media

TL;DR: Polarographic and cyclic voltammetric studies of bromohydrins in acetonitrile showed a single diffusion-limited two-electron irreversible cathodic wave/peak followed by chemical transformations as discussed by the authors.

A selective cathodic reduction of β-chlorovinylimines in N,N′ dimethylformamide

TL;DR: The controlledpotential electrolyses of various substituted chlorovinylimines, viz., 4-chloro-3-(N-aryliminomethyl)-2H(1)-benzopyrans in dimethylformamide(DMF) solutions at mercury pool electrode yielded selectively the corresponding chlorine reduced products in moderately good yields.
