Recent Advances to Mediate Reductive Processes of Nitroarenes Using Single-Electron Transfer, Organomagnesium, or Organozinc Reagents

Abstract

AbstractNitroarenes are readily available compounds that are commonly utilized in reductive processes to form C–NAr bonds via reactive nitrogen intermediates. Recent advances in the development of reductive reactions of nitroarenes using organomagnesium, organozinc, and single-electron transfer reagents are discussed within this short review. 1 Introduction2 Organomagnesium-Mediated Reductive Reactions of Nitroarenes3 Organozinc- and Zinc-Mediated Reductive Reactions of Nitroarenes4 Iodine-Catalyzed Redox Cyclizations of Nitroarenes5 Titanium(III)-Mediated Reductive Cyclizations6 Sulfur-Mediated Reductive Reactions of Nitroarenes7 Alkoxide-Mediated Reductive Reactions of Nitroarenes8 4,4′-Bipyridine-Mediated Reductive Reactions of Nitroarenes9 Visible-Light-Driven Reductive Amination Reactions10 Electrochemical Reductive Reactions11 Conclusion
