Author(s): Chandrasekhar Reddy and I. V. Kasi Viswanath*Sodium borohydride, when used as a reductive dechlorinating agent for reducing 4-chloro 3- nitro benzotrifluoide to 3-amino benzotrifluoide in the presence of diglyme and triglyme at higher temperature, leads to the formation of reductive dechlorinating compound (free amine) as well as reductive chlorinating compound (chlorinated amine).
