General description

meso-1,2-Dibromo-1,2-diphenylethane undergoes electrochemical dehalogenation in acetonitrile. It is reduced by electrogenerated C60−3.

Application

meso-1,2-Dibromo-1,2-diphenylethane(meso-SBr2) was used to study the reaction of ± and meso-SBr2 with 9-substituted fluorenide ions in dimethyl sulfoxide.
