Transformations of substituted 5-bromoacenaphthenes under the action of a catalytic reduction system NiCl2-2,2'-bipyridyl (or 1,10-phenanthrolyne)-Zn in DMF and DMA was studied. Two types of transformation are shown to be characteristic for the studied compounds: reductive coupling with formation of the corresponding 5,5'-biacenaphthenyl and halogen elimination with hydrogen replacing the halogen. Yields of the coupling products and that of dehalogenation are found to depend substantially on the nature of the substituents in the nanhfhalene ring.
