Base-free Transfer Hydrogenation of Nitroarenes Catalyzed by Micro-mesoporous Iron Oxide

Abstract

The front cover artwork for Issue 14/2016 is provided by Dr. Gawande and Prof. Zboril, from the Regional Centre of Advanced Technologies and Materials, Palacky University, Olomouc (Czech Republic). The image shows an efficient protocol for the transfer hydrogenation of nitroarenes using flower-shaped micro-mesoporous iron oxide nanocatalysts with formic acid as the reducing agent to obtain good to excellent yields of the respective amines.
