Abstract

Abstract Sodium formate catalytic transfer reduction, in the presence of palladium on carbon, accomplishes not only the rapid dehalogenation of aromatic chlorocarbons in water at room temperature, but also the reduction of the aromatic moieties to alicyclic rings at 100 C.(© Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
