Conclusions

  1. 1.

    The system PdCl2·(N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone)2-NaBH4 catalyzes the reduction of nitro-benzene to aniline under mild conditions, bypassing the, intermediate formation of the partial hydrogenation products. The rate of reducing the nitro group in o-nitrotoluene is 20 times slower than in nitrobenzene.

  2. 2.

    Phenylhydroxylamine, azoxybenzene, and azobenzene are reduced to hydrazobenzene in the presence of the studied catalytic system, which is not hydrogenated further.
