title: A mechanistic investigation of hydrodehalogenation using ESI-MS.
abstract: The rate of hydrodehalogenation of aryl iodides with a palladium catalyst in methanol exhibits a strong primary kinetic isotope effect from both CD3OD and CH3OD, suggesting that deprotonation plays a major role in the mechanism.
