Abstract

Abstract The reduction of nitro compounds to amines, an important syntheticre action, is us ually accomplished by means of catalytic hydrogenation, 1 metal and acids, reduction with hydridereayents and sulfurated sodium borohydride. 6 A feu, attemptsat the reduction of ni tro group susing transition metal chloridesin the presence of sodium borohydride have also been reported. 7
