| Abstract: | A practical, environmentally benign, rapid, and efficient method for the reduction of aromatic azide to amine is described using FeS/aqueous ammonia in the presence of other reducible functionalities. Application of a novel reducing reagent results in aromatic amines with excellent yield and high chemoselectivity, without need of any purification techniques. |
