Polyfluoroarenes containing chlorine atoms in the aromatic ring and/or in the benzylic position undergo hydrodechlorination by the action of zinc in aqueous dimethylformamide. The use of Zn/Cu and addition of salts (NaCl, Na2SO4, NH4Cl) favor reductive dechlorination of the Carom - Cl bond. Polyfluorobenzotrichlorides react with excess zinc to give the corresponding CH3-substituted derivatives, otherwise CH2Cl- and CHCl2-containing compounds are formed. The reduction of C6F5CCl3 and C6F5CH2Cl with zinc in the presence of copper provides lower yields of the hydrodechlorination products and leads to formation of 1,2-bis(pentafluorophenyl)ethane.
