Abstract

Uranium hydride reduces chloro-, bromo-, and iodo-benzene to benzene and biphenyl, nitrobenzene to azoxy- and azo-benzene, azoxybenzene to azobenzene, and triphenylarsine oxide to triphenylarsine in boiling tetrahydrofuran and/or in the absence of added solvent at 130–170 °C. In tetrahydrofuran, benzoyl chloride gives low yields of butyl benzoate and benzil. A wide range of substrates, e.g. PhF, p-(O 2N) 2C 6H 4, PhCHO, C 5H 5Tl, and Ph 3PO, fails to react with UH 3.
