Abstract:
In this study, we report a novel, eco-friendly, convenient reduction method of nitroarene compounds using TiO2/PEG 400/sodium ascorbate (NaAsc). In this investigation, for the first time, we used sodium ascorbate to reduce nitroarene (NC) compounds which have significantly increased the efficiency of the reduction process through a proposed triad system (TiO2/PEG 400/NaAsc). The reaction also progressed well in the presence of two sources of blue and green LED light, and the reduction of other nitroarene compounds under optimal conditions was performed with good to excellent efficiency.
