✦ Synopsis

Treatment of a-bromoketones with lithium iodide and boron trifluoride i&n ether or tetrahydrofuran at room temperature affords the parent ketone in,*cedure which compares favorably in terms of yield, mildness of reaction conditions, and experimental convenience with any of the numerous known methods for . this type of reduction (1, 2). The yields of dehalogenated ketones listed in
