Abstract

Initially, we were looking for a robust reliable method for reduction of aromatic mononitro and dinitro aromatic compounds to use as multifunctional building block starting materials (Scheme [1] ). However, in the case of dinitro aromatic species, we felt that there was a strong possibility of dinitro reduction using many of the methods described and so were interested in investigating the use of catalytic transfer hydrogenation as a possible controlled approach for ...
