37. Control experiments indicate that 23 and 25 are stable under the reaction conditions. We speculate the minor amounts of debrominated byproducts arise via double metalation of the initial Reformatsky-type adduct i to give ii. We and others have previously invoked the generation of gemdichromium intermediates: Baati, R.; Barma, D. K.; Falck, J. R.; Mioskowski, C. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2001, 123, 9196. The greater reactivity of bromides makes this process partially competitive with the pathway in Figure 1 (Diagram presented)
