Catalytic Hydrodehalogenation of Haloarenes: Electron Transfer Reactions and Related Transformations: a Review

New catalytic methods of hydrodehalogenation reaction of haloarenes for the disposal of toxic production waste and persistent organic pollutants, fine organic synthesis, and solution of green chemistry issues are discussed. Methods presented in the review are based on electron transfer reactions involving photo- and electrocatalytic processes, including those with the participation of metal nanoparticles. Reactions of deuterodehalogenation of haloarenes and several aspects of biological methods of the process are analyzed.
