β¦ Synopsis
Treatment of a variety of aromatic nitro compounds with the active-iron based reducing system composed of FeCl 2 Γ4H 2 O, an excess of lithium powder and a catalytic amount of 4,4 0 -di-tert-butylbiphenyl (DTBB, 5 mol %) in THF at room temperature, led to the formation of the corresponding symmetrically substituted azo compounds in good yield, resulting from a reductive coupling process. Some other functionalities including carbonyl, halogen, amino and hydroxyl groups, demonstrated to be compatible with the reaction conditions, giving none reduced or coupled by-products. In all cases, the azo compounds formed have not experienced over-reduction to the corresponding hydrazo or amino derivatives even upon prolonged heating or using an excess of the reducing system.

Treatment of sulfur-substituted aromatic lactams with carbonyl compounds in the presence of samarium(II) diiodide was found to undergo novel tandem desulfurization and reductive coupling reactions to generate a-hydroxyalkylated lactams in high yield. Stereochemistry of the coupling products was rese
