PARTIAL REDUCTION OF DINITROARENES TO NITROANILINES WITH HYDRAZINE HYDRATE.

Dinitroarenes containing substituents such as hydroxyl and amine groups could be conveniently reduced with 3 molar equivalents of hydrazine hydrate in presence of Raney nickel catalyst in ethanol/1,2-dichloro-ethane solvent mixture to give a product wherein one of the two nitro groups was reduced to the amino group. The yields of the partial reduction products are good. Under similar conditions alkoxyl substitutes in the o,p-position to the nitro groups were displaced by the hydrazine to give 2,4-dinitrophenyl-hydrazine as the main product. The details of the reduction reaction are described.
