CATALYSIS BY IRON-POLYPHTHALOCYANINE. REDUCTIVE DEHALOGENATION OF α-CHLORODEOXYBENZOIN WITH 1-BENZYL-1,4-DIHYDRONICOTINAMIDE
Iron-polyphthalocyanine catalyzed the reductive dehalogenation of α-chlorodeoxybenzoin with 1-benzyl-1,4-dihydronicotinamide in benzene or 80 vol% aqueous methanol. The accelerating activity of the iron-polyphthalocyanine became larger as compared with those of various iron complexes under the similar condition.
