The reaction of a reduced iron (II) porphyrin with a series of chlorinated methanes and ethanes was examined under neutral conditions in buffered aqueous solutions containing an excess of the reducing agent. Carbon tetrachloride, chloroform and 1,1,1-trichloroethane were reduced to lower chlorinated homologs, while methylene chloride, 1,1,2-trichloroethane and 1,1-dichloroethane did not appear to be degraded in this system.
