Aromatic nitro compounds are reduced via transfer hydrogenation in the presence of palladium on magnesium-lanthanum mixed oxide support in ethanol yielding the corresponding amines. With several acetophenone derivatives, the reduction was accompanied by c

Tributyltin hydride when reacted with a series of substituted azoarenes afforded hydrazo compounds with high chemoselectivity and good to high yields.With ortho-substituted azoarenes, mixtures of hydrazo derivatives and N-heterocycles or cyclic products only were obtained.The kinetic law of the process was determined in the presence and in the absence of AIBN; with the radical initiator the reaction proceeds via a radical chain mechanism, whereas without AIBN the presence of stannyl free radicals could be discarded.The mechanism of the noninitiated reaction is discussed.EPR characterization of spin adducts obtained by reacting group IVB organometallic radicals with azo compounds is reported.

Several nitroarenes were decomposed isothermally in dilute supercritical solution in benzene or toluene and in the vapor phase in the temperature range of 290-380 deg C in sealed glass tubes with pressure up to 100 MPa.The mechanisms of thermolysis are inferred from kinetic studies and product analysis.The initial rate-controlling step for nitrobenzene and p-nitrotoluene decomposition is probably intermolecular hydrogen abstraction to form an ArNO2H radical intermediate.The nature of the transition state is deduced from the activation volume (ΔV*), H/D kinetic-isotope effect, and a linear free-energy relationship between the ionization potential of the hydrogen donor and the logarithm of the decomposition rate.A concurrent pathway for o-nitrotoluene is an intramolecular reaction in which anthranil is an intermediate.The behavior of 1,3-dinitrobenzene and 1,4-dinitrobenzene resembles that of nitrobenzene, whereas 2,4-dinitrotoluene and 2,6-dinitrotoluene decompose in the same manner as o-nitrotoluene.Activation parameters are given and detailed mechanisms proposed.
