Abstract

Nitro compounds are versatile synthetic intermediates which have found widespread utility in industrial applications. Aromatic nitro compounds are the usual starting materials for commercial applications, but aliphatic compounds exhibit a greater diversity of chemical behavior under reducing conditions.1–4 Nitroso compounds, hydroxylamines, oximes, amines, nitrones, ketones and silyl nitronates are frequently encountered during the reduction of nitro compounds. Several specialized reviews have appeared which highlight the versatility of the nitro group in organic chemistry.1–8
