Reduction of Aryl Nitro Groups

Reduction of nitroarenes to anilines is one of the oldest and perhaps most important processes carried out in the chemical industry. Used frequently in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals and specialty chemicals, the reaction has come a long way since the original iron catalysed Béchamp process developed in 1834. The most famous aniline-containing drug, Acetaminophen (Paracetamol), is manufactured annually on a scale of almost 200,000 tons. In this webinar I will explore the intricate process of reducing aryl nitro groups, unravelling the mechanisms, challenges, and advancements in this area of organic chemistry. New technologies will be highlighted, including continuous processes, with key concepts exemplified using industrial case studies.

This webinar will be presented by Dr John Studley, Scientific Update at the following time:
