Homogeneous hydrogenation of the –NN–, –CHN–, and –NO2groupings

Abstract
Using the previously described (py)3RhCl3–NaBH4 catalyst in dimethylformamide with hydrogen, azobenzene is reduced to hydrazobenzene and slowly to aniline, benzalaniline gives benzylaniline, and nitrobenzene is reduced to aniline; pyridine and quinoline are hydrogenated to give piperidine and 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinoline respectively.
