Reductive Dechlorination of a Polychlorinated Biphenyl Congener and Hexachlorobenzene by Vitamin B(12)

The polychlorinated biphenyl congener 2,3,4,5,6-pentachlorobiphenyl and hexachlorobenzene were reductively dechlorinated in an aqueous biomimetic model system containing vitamin B12. The proton from water was shown to be the source of the hydrogen atom used for the replacement of chlorine on the bip...

Description
Summary:The polychlorinated biphenyl congener 2,3,4,5,6-pentachlorobiphenyl and hexachlorobenzene were reductively dechlorinated in an aqueous biomimetic model system containing vitamin B12. The proton from water was shown to be the source of the hydrogen atom used for the replacement of chlorine on the biphenyl ring.
