Debromination of 4-bromo-3-(2-substituted aryl) sydnones 1 with sodium borohydride in methanol occurs readily to give good yields of the corresponding parent sydnones 2, except in those cases where the aryl substituent also reacts. The utility of the process for both sydnone purification and the preparation of novel sydnones has been examined briefly.
