Abstract

We have recently established preparative procedures for titanium(III) reduction of sulfoxides to sulfides¹ and nitroarenes to amines.² In continuation of this program which is aimed at exploring the synthetic potential of titanium(III) ion, we have found that α-haloketones undergo facile dehalogenation upon treatment with titanium trichloride.
