Abstract
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.
