Abstract
Polychloroarenes can be dehalogenated with sodium formate in propan-2-ol us ing RhCl(PPh3)(3) as the catalyst. The hydrogenolysis of 1,2,4-trichloroben zene is selective to 1,2-dichlorobenzene, whereas the hydrogenolysis of 1,3 - and 1,4-dichlorobenzene is sequential and selective according to the sequ ence: chlorobenzene > benzene.
