Abstract
Phenethylamines and phenylisopropylamines of scientific relevance can be prepared with a NaBH4/CuCl2 system in 10 to 30 minutes via reduction of substituted β-nitrostyrenes. This one-pot procedure allows the quick isolation of substituted β-nitrostyrene scaffolds with 62-83% yield under mild conditions, without the need for special precautions, inert atmosphere, and time-consuming purification techniques.
