The hydrogenation of heterocyclic nitroaromatics is of great importance in the pharmaceutical industry for the synthesis of key intermediates. However, high selectivity is difficult to achieve in conventional batch reactors owing to severe back mixing and poor mass transfer performance, resulting in the high requirement for subsequent separation processes. In this work, a continuous flow system based on a micropacked bed reactor is developed for the selective hydrogenation of heterocyclic nitroaromatics and the reductions of 5-nitroisoquinoline to 5-aminoisoquinoline and 5-amino-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline are selected as the model reactions. With the optimal reaction conditions, maximal yields of 99.9% (5-aminoisoquinoline) and 99.3% (5-amino-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline) are obtained successfully. Moreover, this system exhibits remarkable performance for the selective hydrogenation of relevant heterocyclic nitroaromatics with all yields beyond the level of 97.5%. The continuous flow system enables efficient hydrogenation of heterocyclic nitroaromatics and remarkable selectivity of target products with shorter reaction time and safer operation compared with batch reactors.

Mechanochemical ball milling catalytic transfer hydrogenation (CTH) of aromatic nitro compounds using readily available and cheap ammonium formate as the hydrogen source is demonstrated as a simple, facile and clean approach for the synthesis of substituted anilines and selected pharmaceutically relevant compounds. The scope of mechanochemical CTH is broad, as the reduction conditions tolerate various functionalities, for example nitro, amino, hydroxy, carbonyl, amide, urea, amino acid and heterocyclic. The presented methodology was also successfully integrated with other types of chemical reactions previously carried out mechanochemically, such as amide bond formation by coupling amines with acyl chlorides or anhydrides and click-type coupling reactions between amines and iso(thio)cyanates. In this way, we showed that active pharmaceutical ingredients Procainamide and Paracetamol could be synthesized from the respective nitro-precursors on milligram and gram scale in excellent isolated yields.
