✦ Synopsis
Since a few years, considerable attention has been devoted to the study of reducing agents which consist of mixtures of transition metal salts and metal hydrides*. When we started our works on this subject, sodium hydride had scarcely been used for the preparation of this kind of reagents. In previous publications, we showed that NaH-RONa%& systems, designated Complex Reducing Agents (abbreviated CRA), are new useful tools for the reduction of halides 334 , ketones, alkenes and alkynes5.
Current investigations in our laboratory pointed out6 that FeC13 was one of the transition metal salts which give active CRA for the reduction of organic halides. On the other hand, FUJISAWA, SUGIMYIC and OHTA reported that FeCq, and principally FeC12, in the presence of NaH, provide effective systems for the reduction of carbony17 as well as ethylenic or acety-
