“…[3] Traditional methods for the reduction of nitro compounds such as using Fe/HCl (BØchamp reduction)h ave drawbacks including slow reactionr ates, the need for costly steam distillation, and generation of large amounts of waste, as well as not being amenable to the presence of acid-sensitive functional groups. [4] Recently,o wing to concernsa bout atom efficiency, compatibility with industrial applications,a nd eco-friendliness, considerable attention has been paid to the use of catalytic hydrogenation in the presence of transition metals such as Pd, [5] Au, [6] Ru, [7] Pt, [8] Cu, [9] Co, [10] Ni, [11] and Fe, [12] as well as various other methods. [13] Among these metals, palladium-catalyzed hydrogenation of the nitro group has provena ne ffective and widely used method for the formation of amines.…”
