Abstract

Chemoselective Transfer Hydrogenation to Nitroarenes Mediated by Cubane--Type Mo3S4 Cluster Catalysts. -A wide range of aromatic and heteroaromatic nitro-compounds is reduced to the corresponding amines using formates as reducing agent. High functional group tolerance is shown. -(SORRIBES, I.; WIENHOEFER, G.; VICENT, C.; JUNGE, K.; LLUSAR, R.; BELLER*, M.; Angew. Chem., Int.
