The $VCl_3$/In system was found to be a new protocol for debromination of a variety of vic-dibromides to the corresponding alkenes in high yields with short reaction times under mild conditions. This new methodology is highly chemoselective, tolerating several functional groups such as chloro, bromo, fluoro, keto, ester, carboxyl, and methoxy groups.
