Abstract
A simple, mild, cost-effective, and green approach for the reductive mono-N-alkylation of nitroarenes has been developed. HOAc/Zn are utilized as the reducing system together with a carbonyl compound as an alkyl source in methanol. Excellent yields were obtained with stoichiometric control of mono- over dialkylated products. Application to five complex natural products demonstrated the practical utility of the method.
