Valuable aromatic nitrogen compounds can be synthesized by reduction of nitroarenes. Herein, we report electrochemical reduction of nitroarenes by a protocol that uses inert graphite felt as electrodes and ammonia as a reductant. Depending on the cell voltage and the solvent, the protocol can be used to obtain aromatic azoxy, azo, and hydrazo compounds, as well as aniline derivatives with high chemoselectivities. The protocol can be readily scaled up to >10 g with no decrease in yield, demonstrating its potential synthetic utility. A stepwise cathodic reduction pathway was proposed to account for the generations of products in turn.
Palladium Supported on Carbon Nanoglobules as a Promising Catalyst for Selective Hydrogenation of Nitroarenes

The catalysts 1?wt% palladium supported on carbon nanoglobules (CNGs) were shown to be highly active in the liquid-phase hydrogenation of various nitroarenes and provided nearly 100% selectivity to aromatic amines at complete conversion under mild conditions (323?K, 0.5?MPa, 1?h). The catalytic activity (in terms of turnover frequency and substrate conversion) and selectivity depend on the kind of CNGs support, catalyst preparation method and the reaction conditions (solvent nature). The Pd/CNGs catalyst can be repeatedly used while maintaining the same catalytic performance. The excellent performances of Pd/CNGs catalysts can be due to the globular morphology of the supports as well as the absence of micropores and pronounced surface defects.

Gold nanoparticles (Au-NPs) have been prepared using N-heterocyclic thiones (NHTs) as ligand stabilisers. These Au-NPs have been shown to be very stable, even in air, and have been characterized by a combination of several techniques (TEM, HR-TEM, STEM-HAADF, EDX, DLS, elemental analysis and 1H NMR). These nanoparticles are active in the catalytic reduction of nitroarenes to anilines.
