Abstract

Reduction of nitro group is important both for academic research and industrial application. Nitro group can be easily introduced1, 2 into an aromatic ring, and subsequently can be reduced to an amine, which, in turn, can be converted to a host of other compounds such as primary and secondary amines, imine, azo, diazo, amide, phenol, halides and olefins by application of well established chemistry. 3 Reduction of a nitro group in the presence of ...
