A New facile and general synthesis of alkylanilines by one-pot reductive alkylation of nitroarenes is reported.This method is based on the "in situ" reduction by hydrides (LiAlH4 or NaBH4) in the presence of catalytic amounts of Pd/C, of nitronate adducts arising from the conjugate addition of Grignard reagents to mononitroarenes.LiAlH4 showed to be a more efficient but less selective reducing agent than NaBH4.The reaction can be successfully applied to mono, homo and hetero bicyclic systems and allows to introduce a large variety of alkyl chains without isomerisation phenomena.
