We report on the activation of chlorinated methanes by the heterogeneous catalysts aluminum chlorofluoride (ACF) and high‐surface aluminum fluoride (HS‐AlF 3 ) under moderate conditions. For comparison, chlorinated toluenes and 1,2‐dichloroethane were also tested. The strong Lewis acids are able to promote the cleavage of C−Cl bonds in the presence of Et 3 SiH. The C−Cl bonds were converted into C−H bonds through hydrodechlorination reactions or, in the presence of benzene, into C−C bonds through Friedel–Crafts type reactions. The catalytic reactions show high conversions.
