Selective Reduction of Nitro Compounds With Titanium(II) Reagents

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
