Is that speculation or an experimental result? On what halogens?

In the "The Khomeinines" thread (topic post #528139) you can find a couple of examples of arylnitropropenes reductions with Red-Al aka Vitride. Here
is one example performed by his holiness the ayatollah Khomeini:
| Quote: | 3C-Kh3i: 5.42 g (18.4 mmol, MW 295) 3C-Kh3i NP is dissolved in 150 mL toluene (though 100 mL would have been sufficient) and is added
drop-wise over a period of 30 min to an ice-cooled stirred mixture of 62 mL 70% vitride (~12 eq) and 50 mL toluene. The ice bath is maintained a
further hour when addition is complete and the reaction is allowed to continue overnight. It is subsequently neutralized with 5% aq NaOH and the
organic phase is isolated. The latter is washed with 2x 100 mL 5% aq NaOH and 2x 100 mL brine. The organic phase is extracted with 3x 100 mL 10% aq
HCl and the combined extracts washed with 75 mL toluene and neutralized with 40% aq NaOH. The neutralized mixture is extracted with 3x 150 mL
dichloromethane and the combined organic phases dried over sodium sulfate. After filtration of solids and evaporation of volatiles, 4.33 g of a
slightly yellowish oil remains. This is taken up in 75 mL MeOH and neutralized by addition of 4 mL 5 N IPA/HCl. Evaporation of the alcohols gives a
crude powder which is recrystallized from CH3CN/IPA, yielding 3.73 g (66.8%, MW 303.5) of a glistering powdery substance, mp 154-155°C.
MS: 267 ([M]+., 0.03%), 44 ([C2H4NH2]+, 100%), 224 ([M-C2H3NH2]+., 5.3%), 182 ([M-C2H3NH2-C3H6]+., 16.3%), 153 ([m/z
182-C2H5]+, 6.4%), 154 ([m/z 182-CO]+, 4.7%) |
See also his report in the "3C-E (Vitride reduction)" thread (#521627).
…there is a human touch of the cultist “believer” in every theorist that he must struggle against as being
unworthy of the scientist. Some of the greatest men of science have publicly repudiated a theory which earlier they hotly defended. In this lies their
scientific temper, not in the scientific defense of the theory. - Weston La Barre (Ghost Dance, 1972)
