Abstract
The electrolytic reductive dechlorination of 1,1-bis(p-chlorophenyl)-2,2,2- trichloroethane (DDT) in the ionic liquid (IL) 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate ([bmim][BF4]) in the presence of a cobalamin derivative afforded 1,1′-(ethylidene)bis(4-chlorobenzene) (DDO) and 1,1′-(ethenylidene)bis(4-chlorobenzene) (DDNU) with 1,1′-(2- chloroethylidene)bis(4-chlorobenzene) (DDMS); the enhanced reactivity, as well as the recyclability of the cobalamin derivative catalyst in IL, makes the present system more efficient for the development of "green" technologies.
