Chemistry
Amines are prepared by the following methods:
1 Reduction of nitro compounds
Nitro compounds are reduced to amines by passing hydrogen gas
in the presence of finely divided nickel, palladium or platinum and
also by reduction with metals in acidic medium Nitroalkanes can
also be similarly reduced to the corresponding alkanamines
