Does anyone know if there are problems involved reducing 2,5-dimethoxy-beta-nitrostyrene using the Uruishibara catalyst?
As far as i know, there should be no problems with that. I have never heard of any that is :)
Please try and report your results back! Urushibura reductions has always intrigued me :)
Acidic, alkaline or neutral reaction conditions? What source of hydrogen are planning to use?
