Abstract
The treatment of nitro compounds with Grignard reagents in the presence of a catalytic amount of FeCl<sub>2</sub>/4 <i>t</i>‐BuMgCl produced various types of secondary amines in good yields. This reductive coupling most likely involves the compatibility of functional groups such as chlorine, benzyl ether, olefin, and acetylene. Moreover, the corresponding poly‐substituted amines were not observed under these conditions. When the Grignard reagents were replaced with organozinc reagents, functionalized secondary amines containing ester and nitrile groups were obtained in good yields.
