Abstract

The selective reduction of nitro compounds to the corresponding amines is one of the most important transformations in synthetic organic chemistry.[1] Although a number of methods have been developed, the search for new facile, chemoselective, cost-effective, and environmentally friendly procedures that avoid the use of expensive and hazardous stoichiometric reducing agents in large excess has attracted substantial interest.[2] An ...
