Abstract

Palladium-triphenylphospine-catalyzed transfer hydrogenolysis of aryl bromides by aqueous sodium formate in a two-liquid phase system is described. Tetrahexylammonium hydrogen sulfate proved to be the best phase transfer catalyst in this system. Substitution of the H2O by D2O led to the selective transformation of the aryl bromides to monodeuterated products.
