Abstract
A well-defined manganese(II)-NNO pincer complex catalyzes efficient catalytic hydrosilylations of nitroarenes to form the corresponding anilins under solvent-free conditions. This base-metal-catalyzed hydrosilylation is an easy and sustainable alternative to classical hydrogenation. A large variety of nitroarenes bearing various functionalities were selectively reduced in good yields.
