Abstract

Abstract The selective reduction of nitroaromatics to the corresponding amines is an important transformation since many aromatic amines exhibit biological activities and find a multitude of industrial applications, being intermediates for the synthesis of dyes, pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. A variety of nitroaromatics dissolved in organic solvents was reduced by using aqueous sodium sulfide, and tetrabutylammonium ...
