Abstract

Nanoporous silver was used as the catalyst for the reduction of aromatic nitro compounds even in the presence of some sensitive functional groups under mild conditions with excellent yields. A reduced amount of NaBH4 was used. The reaction kinetics was studied with the help of UV-visible spectrophotometry.
