Facile reduction of aromatic nitro compounds to aromatic amines catalysed by support-free nanoporous silver

Abstract

Nanoporous silver was used as the catalyst for the reduction of aromatic nitro compounds even in the presence of some sensitive functional groups under mild conditions with excellent yields. A reduced amount of NaBH4 was used. The reaction kinetics was studied with the help of UV-visible spectrophotometry.
