## Abstract Aromatic amines were prepared in good yields by a novel reduction of aromatic nitro compounds with tellurium metal in nearβcritical water at 275Β°C.
Reduction of aromatic nitro compounds to amines with hydriodic acid was reinvestigated. Under a milder non-refluxing condition (at 90Β°C for 2-4 h), the reduction proceeded efficiently with excellent chemoselectivity without affecting other functional groups including nitrile, ester, halide, carbonyl
A simple method for the reduction of aromatic nitro compounds to aromatic amines was developed using samarium and catalytic amounts of iodine.
