B(C6F5)3‐Catalyzed Reduction of Aromatic and Aliphatic Nitro Groups with Hydrosilanes

Abstract: A transition‐metal‐free method for the hydrosilane reduction of aromatic and aliphatic nitro compounds to the corresponding amines is reported. Et3SiH is found to be the optimal reductant in this B(C6F5)3‐catalyzed deoxygenation. The functional‐group tolerance is, however, moderate.

“…J. Org. Particularly noteworthy is that a NO 2 group on the sulfoxide was not reduced to a NH 2 group (Table 2, entry 7), despite the fact that B(C 6 F 5 ) 3 /Et 3 SiH was reported to reduce aromatic and aliphatic nitro groups, [23] perhaps because of the temperature and the amount of the hydrosilane used. 2017, 3427-3430 www.eurjoc.org ceeded smoothly (Table 2, entries 4-6).…”

“…Chloro-and bromosubstituted sulfoxides afforded corresponding products 2e, 2f, and 2h in moderate to high yields, and these compounds could be used in subsequent structural manipulations such as coupling reactions. Particularly noteworthy is that a NO 2 group on the sulfoxide was not reduced to a NH 2 group (Table 2, entry 7), despite the fact that B(C 6 F 5 ) 3 /Et 3 SiH was reported to reduce aromatic and aliphatic nitro groups, [23] perhaps because of the temperature and the amount of the hydrosilane used. In other words, the S-O bond is more reactive than the N-O bond.…”

“…[12] In 2016, a B(C 6 F 5 ) 3 -catalyzed hydrosilane reduction of aromatic and aliphatic nitro compounds to the corresponding amines was reported by Oestreich and co-workers (entry 9). [13] Moreover, Benaglia and co-workers explored a HSiCl 3 -mediated reduction of both aromatic and aliphatic nitro compounds to amines with TEA or DIPEA as additive (entry 10). [14] The ultimate goal of these transformations is to find an excellent catalytic system for the practical synthesis of primary amines from nitro compounds, which can tolerant a variety of sensitive functional groups under mild and environmentally friendly reaction conditions.…”

“…Functionalized aromatic amines are important intermediates in the production of a range of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, cosmetics, herbicides, dyes, and polymers Amines can be obtained through the catalytic hydrogenation of the corresponding aromatic nitro compounds by using reducing agents such as hydrosilanes, sodium borohydride, hydrazine derivatives,, formic acid, and molecular hydrogen , . However, selectivity in the targeted reduction of the –NO 2 group in the presence of other reactive function groups (e.g., alkenes, nitriles, esters, and halogen groups) remains a big challenge for the production of aromatic amines .…”
