All articles of this category Exposure of (functionalized) aryl chlorides to catalytic quantities of nickel-on-charcoal in the presence of stoichiometric amounts of Me 2 NH · BH 3 /K 2 CO 3 in refluxing acetonitrile leads to high yields of reduced arenes. PCBs are also reduced under these conditions. The method is highly tolerant of moisture. aryl chlorides - dechlorination - heterogeneous catalysis - nickel-on-charcoal
