Abstract

Arylhydroxylamines can be obtained by reduction of the corresponding nitroaromatic compounds. We report here an efficient preparation of arylhydroxylamines by a controlled reduction of nitro compounds using zinc metal and ammonium chloride under ultrasonic activation in very short reaction times.
