Abstract
Nitroaromatic compounds, as hazardous industrial pollutants, have long been extensively studied for their conversion into high-value aromatic amines. However, most of these transformation reactions are confined to the use of transition metal catalysts or high-temperature conditions. Therefore, we report an electrochemical approach utilizing Pinacolborane as the reducing agent for the efficient reduction of nitroaromatic compounds. The reaction is characterized by its mild conditions, simplicity in operation, and demonstrates excellent substrate adaptability and functional group compatibility.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
