Abstract: Nitrones and nitroxides were selectively reduced with Fe/AcOH to secondary amines in the presence of different functional groups (aldehyde, nitrile, carboxylic ester, activated and nonactivated double or triple bonds). ... The synthetic route through reductive cyclization of y-nitroketones obtained ... Searching for new antiarrhythmic compounds we found that sterically ... These findings forced us to investigate the methods for selective reduction
