Dehalogenation of polychloroarenes with sodium formate in propan-2-ol catalyzed by RhCl(PPh3)3

Abstract

Polychloroarenes can be dehalogenated with sodium formate in propan-2-ol using RhCl(PPh3)3 as the catalyst. The hydrogenolysis of 1,2,4-trichlorobenzene is selective to 1,2-dichlorobenzene, whereas the hydrogenolysis of 1,3- and 1,4-dichlorobenzene is sequential and selective according to the sequence: chlorobenzene > benzene.
