Abstract

Aromatic, heteroaromatic and sulfonyl azides were conveniently reduced to the corresponding amines in excellent yields using hydrazine hydrate in the presence of iron oxide nanoparticles. The Fe₃O₄-MNPs could be easily separated by an external magnet, and recycled ten times without significant loss of the catalytic efficiency.
