Reducing a nitroarene to aromatic amines Flashcards
1
Q
What can happen?
A
= the nitro group an be reduced into an amine group
2
Q
= what are the reagants?
A
= Sn
= HCl
= Fe
3
Q
What are the conditions?
A
=heating
= mechanism: reduction
= this can also be done by hydrogenation
4
Q
What is the general equation for this reaction?
A
= nitro benzene
= 6[H]
= forms an aromatic amine
