摘要

Viologens (l, l'-dialkyL4, 4'-bipyridinium, V+) have been utilized as electron-transfer catalysts (ETC) for the reduction of various organic compound^.^-^ We have shown that various aromatic nitro compounds are reduced conveniently to the corresponding aniline derivatives with sodium dithionite using octylviologen (OcV+) as an ETC in a dichloromethane-water two-phase system, while aliphatic nitro compounds remain intact under the same reaction ...
