One-pot reductive acetamidation of aryl nitro compounds

摘要

The present invention provides a method for the reductive acetamidation of an aryl nitro compound by reacting a substituted acid with an aryl nitro compound and adding a catalytic amount of a base with the substituted acid and the aryl nitro compound to form an acetamidation aryl nitro compound. The acetamidation aryl nitro compound is then purified.
