Water as a hydrogen source in palladium-catalyzed reduction and reductive amination of nitroarenes mediated by diboronic acid

摘要

Abstract An unprecedented palladium-catalyzed chemoselective reduction and reductive amination of nitroarenes with water as a hydrogen source mediated by diboronic acid have been discovered. A series of aryl amines containing various reducible functional groups were obtained in good to excellent yields. Graphical abstract Display Omitted ]]>
