Iron-catalyzed selective reduction of nitroarenes to anilines using organosilanes.
The iron-catalyzed reduction of aromatic nitro compounds to the corresponding anilines applying organosilanes is reported. In the presence of FeX(2)-R(3)P catalysts a series of nitroarenes is selectively reduced tolerating a wide range of functional groups.
