Reduction of phenyl-2-nitropropen

[malvaxman]

To make this shit seems much more easy than to make an amine
out of it.
How many diffrent ways are there for someone that does not have NaBH4?
Yes I have UTFSE and I have found some methods..

1.zink/amalgam
2. palladium on carbon
3. electrolytic reduction
(does anyone know how high the yeld should be fo this?)

Maybee there are some genius here that know more?

I like the name of the author of the LAH article - F.Nord - very Illuminati-inspired.
