Ultrasound-promoted Highly Chemoselective Reduction of Aromatic Nitro Compounds to the Corresponding N-Arylhydroxylamines Using Zinc and HCOONH sub(4) in CH sub(3)CN

N-Arylhydroxylamines were prepared in high yields through chemoselective reduction of the corresponding aromatic nitro compounds under ultrasound (59 kHz) at room temperature using a convenient Zn/HCOONH sub(4)/CH sub(3)CN system. This method was highly efficient, environmentally benign, especially...

Description
Summary:N-Arylhydroxylamines were prepared in high yields through chemoselective reduction of the corresponding aromatic nitro compounds under ultrasound (59 kHz) at room temperature using a convenient Zn/HCOONH sub(4)/CH sub(3)CN system. This method was highly efficient, environmentally benign, especially simple and practical.
