The Platinum Catalyzed Reduction of Nitroarenes to Aminoarenes with Carbon Monoxide and Water

Abstract
Nitroarenes were transformed into the corresponding aminoarenes in high yields at 80 °C with carbon monoxide (an initial pressure 30–60 kg cm−2) and water in the presence of a catalytic amount of a platinum catalyst. The platinum catalyst was combined with tin(IV) chloride, triphenylphosphine and triethylarnine. This combination was essential for the high catalytic activity.
