(https://www.thevespiary.org/rhodium/Rhodium/pdf/cth.hydrazine-formate.magnesium.pdf)I tried with grignard magnesium
Did you try that when you reduced the nitro compound also? Semms like magnesium granules is much cheaper than powder. Although I guess the reaction would run slower?
Great that you proved that the reaction works for nitroalkanes also. The cost of Pd have always turned me off CTHs before, but now I might have to try one.
