Abstract

Abstract Aromatic nitro compounds are reduced via transfer hydrogenation in the presence of palladium on magnesium-lanthanum mixed oxide support in ethanol yielding the corresponding amines. With several acetophenone derivatives, the reduction was accompanied by chain elongation whilst the carbonyl group remained intact.
