A question of potential! Clean reduction by dissolving base metals can be effected by employing redox catalysts of appropriate oxidation potential. The traditional use of aromatic hydrocarbons as redox catalysts has now been expanded by application of Me3FeIILi and related ate complexes. The scheme shows, for example, the catalytic cycle for the reductive cleavage of phenylsulfonamides with magnesium.
