Abstract
Exposure of (functionalized) aryl chlorides to catalytic quantities of nick el-on-charcoal in the presence of stoichiometric amounts of Me2NH . BH3/K2C O3 in refluxing acetonitrile leads to high yields of reduced arenes. PCBs a re also reduced under these conditions. The method is highly tolerant of mo isture.
