Reduction of arylnitro compounds to azoarenes and/or arylamines by Al/NaOH in methanol under ultrasonic conditions.
Arylnitro compounds are reduced to the corresponding azoarenes and/or arylamines by aluminium metal in the presence of sodium hydroxide in methanol in high yields under influence of power ultrasound (35 kHz) at 25 degrees C.
