Sodium borohydride in the presence of catalytic amounts of Copper (II) nitrate trihydrate reduces a range of aromatic nitro compounds to their corresponding amines in high to excellent yields. all of the Reduction reactions were carried out in H2O as green solvent within 1 - 60 minutes at the tempreture of 40 - 50 C. The method is simple, fast, inexpensive, available, easily scaled - up and Due to the importance of the solvent in chemical reactions, the reaction is green and eco – friendly and it is important in terms of environmental protection.
