✦ Synopsis

A Convenient and Mild Synthetic Route to Aminoarenes by Reduction of Nitroarenes with Activated Nickel and Hydrazine Hydrate.

-Aminoarenes (II) are obtained in excellent yields by chemoselective reduction of the corresponding nitroarenes (I) with activated nickel powder and hydrazine hydrate. The catalyst is prepared by reduction of anhydrous nickel chloride with ultrasonically dispersed potassium. -(LI, H.
