Summary
The nickel complexes of Schiff bases formed fromo-aminothiophenol and α-dicarbonyl compounds, Ni(o-SC6H4N=CRCR=NC6H4S-o) (R=H, Me, Ph) (1a-c), catalyse the reduction of aromatic nitro compounds by NaBH4. The reduced species [Ni(o-SC6H4N=CHCH=NC6H4S-o)]− (2) and [Ni(o-SC6H4NHCH2CH=NC6H4S-o)]− (3) were identified as intermediates in the catalytic cycle.
