Hydrazine hydrate in the presence of Raney nickel has been found to reduce alcoholic solutions of aromatic nitro compounds to the corresponding amines in good yield. 3 The method has been ap-plied successfullyto the reduction of 6-nitroindole to 6-aminoindole4 and to the conversion of a nitrosty-rylcolchicine ester to the corresponding amine. 5 Application ofthe method to nitro-6 or nitrosopyrim-idines7 gave anomalous products not readily char-acterized.It is apparent that the nature of the catalyst is not critical to the course of the reaction. Uniformly good yields of amines have been obtained using palladized charcoal8· 9 or platinum10 as the catalyst. Iron or copper powder also has been used, but the yields were inferior. 11 The catalytic effect may be merely the provision of a surface for reduction, since reduction products have been obtained using only porous tile as the catalyst. 12 However, no reduction took place without a catalyst at room or steam-bath temperatures. 3· 10· 13 The concentration of hydrazine appears to be the main factor controlling the nature and yields of re-duction products. If large volumes of alcohol and hence small concentrations of hydrazine hy-drate were used, amines were the sole products. If the hydrazine hydrate concentration was increased, good yields of intermediate products resulted; the
