Abstract
We investigated the degradation of chlorinated phenols under reductive electron transfer reaction conditions. Although Li and Na metal proved useless, activated forms of these metals, either their soluble naphthalene radical anions or 1,2-diarylethane dianions, promoted the degradation of the starting materials to various extents. Additionally, efficient dehalogenation of the sodium salts of several mono-, di-, and tri-chlorophenols was obtained by their reduction with an excess of Na metal and a catalytic amount of naphthalene. .
