One-step double reduction of aryl nitro and carbonyl groups using hydrazine
نویسندگان
چکیده
Single-step reduction of aryl nitro and carbonyl groups to the corresponding synthetically useful alkyl-anilines occurs with excellent yields by treatment with hydrazine and a base in a solvent-free reaction. The method has been applied to a broad range of compounds with different properties. Investigations into the mechanism of the reduction reveal that each group is reduced independently. A mechanism is proposed for this novel reduction of aromatic nitro groups. © 2011 Elsevier Science. All rights reserved.

The reaction of P-diketones 1 with phenyl hydrazine afforded 5-aryl-3-(1- methyl-5-nitro-2-imidazoly1)-1-phenylpyrazole (2) and 3-aryl-5-(1-methyl-5- nitro-2-imidazoly1) -1-phenylpyrazole (3). The reaction of diketones (1) with urea in the presence of p-toluenesulfonic acid gave 4-(or 6-)aryl-6-(or 4-)(1-methyl- 5-nitro-2-imidazolyl)-1-(lH)pyrimidones (4). The structures of all compounds w...

An environmentally benign and clean synthesis of aryl-hydrazones by reacting variety of carbonyl compounds with thiosemicarbazide, semicarbazide, aminoguanidine, and phenyl hydrazine has been achieved using aqueous extract of Acacia concinna pods as a natural surfactant type catalyst. We found that the aqueous extract of Acacia concinna pods could be effectively used for the synthesis of aryl-h...

Crystals of the title compound, C(15)H(15)N(3)O(3), were obtained from a condensation reaction of 4-nitro-phenyl-hydrazine and 3-methoxy-acetophenone. In the crystal structure, the methoxy-phenyl ring is twisted slightly with respect to the nitro-phenyl-hydrazine plane, making a dihedral angle of 14.81 (8)°. The nitro and meth-oxy groups are each coplanar with the attached benzene rings. The ni...

The title compound, C(13)H(9)N(5)O(6), contains three nitro groups. It is prepared by the reaction of benzaldehyde 2,4-dinitro-phenyl-hydrazone with nitric oxide at ambient temperature. The imine group is nearly coplanar with the (2,4-dinitro-phen-yl)-hydrazine unit. The second benzene ring and the third nitro group are twisted away from this plane, with dihedral angles of 48.5 (3) and 15.2 (3)...

Two series of new soluble conjugated compounds containing tetrazine central ring have been synthesized. The three-ring compounds have been synthesized by the reaction of aryl cyanide (where aryl = thienyl, alkylthienyl, phenyl or pyridyl) with hydrazine followed by oxidation of the intermediate product with diethyl azodicarboxylate. The five-ring compounds have been prepared using two pathways:...
