Novel conditions for the transformation of gem ‐dibromomethylenes to ketones are described. gem ‐Dibromo compounds were treated with acetic anhydride and triethylamine in dichloromethane/water at room temperature under an air atmosphere to give the corresponding ketones in moderate yields. A radical mechanism is proposed based on experimental results.
