[reaction: see text] Graphite intercalation compounds (GICs) are useful as powerful reducing agents in organic chemistry and are typically prepared by anaerobic solid-state reactions at high temperatures for 1-8 h. We have been able to prepare KC(8) in situ in toluene using ultrasound in less than 5 min. This allows for a convenient approach to reductive chemical syntheses involving GICs.
