Abstract

Polymer supported formate in conjunction with commercial zinc dust provides a mild and efficient procedure for the reduction of organic azides to corresponding amines. A variety of alkyl and aryl azides were selectively reduced in high yield and purity at room temperature. ... Keywords: polymer supported formate, zinc, azides, recyclable, catalytic transfer hydrogenation ... In recent years, functionalised polymers have been emerged as useful reagents, ...
