The aromatic nitro compounds are reduced to their corresponding amines at room temperature in good yields by employing diammonium hydrogen phosphite as hydrogen donor and zinc as catalyst. The hydrogenation is fast and selective in the presence of the other sensitive functionalities such as halogens, -OH, -NH2, -OCH3, -CN, -COCH3, -COOH, -COORetc. It was observed that, this system is equally competitive with existing methods.

Aromatic nitro compounds were chemoselectively reduced to the corresponding amines using recyclable polymer-supported formate as a hydrogen donor in the presence of low-cost magnesium powder at room temperature. Use of the immobilized hydrogen donor affords the product amine in excellent yield (90–97%) without the need for any chromatographic purification steps. This method was found to be highly facile with selectivity over several other functional groups, such as halogen, alkene, nitrile, carbonyl, ester, amide, methoxy, phenol, and hydroxyl groups.

The reduction of aromatic nitro compounds to corresponding azoxy compounds with sodium borohydride was catalyzed by BiO(OH)/actived carbon (AC), which was prepared by equivalent-volume impregnation. The influences of catalyst, sodium borohydride and sodium hydroxide amount were investigated with 10 mmol of nitrobenzene as substrate in methanol at room temperature. The suitable reaction conditions are as follows: 0.2 g of catalyst, 10 mmol of sodium borohydride and 0.1 g of sodium hydroxide. Under the conditions, the seven aromatic nitro compounds were reduced to corresponding azoxy compounds with 27%-90% yields. Moreover, slight deactivation was observed after nine cycles of the catalyst.

Natural phosphates are an important natural resource in Morocco, which need to be valorized; they can be used not only as primary raw material to produce the fertilizers but also as catalysts. In this work, we have prepared natural phosphate-supported nickel chloride (NiCl2/NP). This material was effectively used as a heterogeneous catalyst in the presence of sodium borohydride as a reducing agent. The reaction was carried out at room temperature in an aqueous medium. The catalyst showed an excellent activity for the reduction of aromatic nitro compounds under simple conditions along with good usability.

Magnesium/triethylammonium formate is a convenient reagent for the reduction of aromatic nitro compounds to corresponding symmetrically substituted azo compounds. Various azo compounds containing additional reducible substituents, including halogen, nitrile, acid, phenol, ester, and methoxy functions, have been synthesized in a single step by the use of this reagent. The conversion is reasonably fast, clean, high yielding, and occurs at room temperature in methanol.
