Abstract:
The reduction of nitroaromatic compounds is an important transformation that be used in the synthesis of amines which are interesting intermediates of pharmaceuticals and other derivatives. Linseed, Linum usitatissimum L., were used to catalyze biotransformations of nitrobenzene, ortho-nitroacetophenone, meta- nitroacetophenone and para-nitroacetophenone. Ortho-aminoacetophenone, and para- aminoacetophenone were obtained with excellent chemoselectivity (92.1 to ≥99%).
Keywords:Linum usitatissimum L; Linseed; Bioreduction; Nitroaromatic Compounds; Chemoselectivity.
