title: Wilkinson's catalyst catalyzed selective hydrogenation of olefin in the presence of an aromatic nitro function: a remarkable solvent effect.
abstract: Optimal conditions for chlorotris(triphenylphosphine)rhodium(I) (Wilkinson's catalyst) catalyzed selective saturation of a double bond in the presence of a nitro function are developed. Aryl iodide and benzyl ether are also tolerated under these hydrogenation conditions.
