Jsd. Kumar et al., Simple and chemoselective reduction of aromatic nitro compounds to aromatic amines: reduction with hydriodic acid revisited, TETRAHEDR L, 42(33), 2001, pp. 5601-5603
Reduction of aromatic nitro compounds to amines with hydriodic acid as rein
vestigated. Under a milder non-refluxing condition (at 90 degreesC for 2 4
h), the reduction proceeded efficiently with excellent chemoselectivity wit
hout affecting other functional groups including nitrile, ester, halide, ca
rbonyl, amide, Sulfonamide, imidazole and methylthio groups. (C) 2001 Elsev
