The destruction of hazardous chemicals such as chlorinated organic compounds(COCs) and nitroaromatic compounds(NACs) by zero-valent iron powder is one of the latest innovative technologies. In this paper. the rapid dechlorination of chlorinated compounds as well as transformation of nitro functional group to amine functional group in the nitroaromatic compounds using synthesized zero-valent iron powder with nanoscale were studied in anaerobic batch system. Nanoscale iron, characterized by high surface area to mass ratios(31.4$\textrm{m}^2$/g) and high reactivity, could quickly reacts with compounds such as TCE, chloroform, nitrobenzene, nitrotoluene, dinitrobenzene and dinitrotoluene, at concentration of 10mg/L in aqueous solution at room temperature and pressure. In this study, the TCE was dechlorinated to ethane and chloroform to methane and nitro groups in NACs were transformed to amino groups in less than 30min. These results indicated that this chemical method using nanoscale iron powder has the high potential for the remediation of soils and groundwater contaminated with hazardous toxic chemicals including chlorinated organic compounds and nitro aromatic compounds.

Activated Cu-Zn by the reaction of aqueous cupric sulfate and excess Zn showed the exceptional catalytic activity for the reduction of aromatic nitro compounds to the corresponding amino compounds in the presence of hydrazine monohydrate in ethanol. But, aliphatic nitro compounds were not reduced to the amino compounds.

Aromatic primary amines were prepared by the catalytic hydrogenation of aromatic nitro compounds in a benzene solution over 50 mg of 10 % palladium on charcoal at a room temperature under 45 psi. This paper describes a study on the catalytic hydrogenation of nitrobenzene-$d_5$, $^{15}N$-labelled nitrobenzene, and 4'-nitrobenzo-15-crown-5, respectively. The infrared absorption spectra exhibited a characteristic N-H stretching vibrations at 3450 and $3350cm^{-1}$. The results suggest that the non-readily available aromatic amines would be commercially produced by catalytic hydrogenation because of its good yield and little by-product formation.

Approximate rate and stoichiometry of the reaction of ten compounds which contain functional group such as nitrile, nitro, halogen and one of these functional group together with a carbonyl group by the two phase reduction were tested at room temperature. Nitrile, nitro and halogen were all inert under these condition. Therefore selective reduction of carbonyl group in the presence of these group were examined. Thus m-nitrobenzaldehyde, m-nitroacetophenone, p-bromoacetophenone and p-cyanobenzaldehyde were reduced to corresponding alcohols in excellent yields, 95∼100 %.

Most of the aromatic nitro compounds were reduced to amines in high yield by transfer of hydrogen from 4-vinyl cyclohexene to the substrate via palladium catalyst. The usefulness of the method is not affected by the presence of a variety of other functional groups such as -OH, $-OCH_3$, $-CH_3$, $-CO_2H$, and -Cl, except for halogen which is removed during hydrogenation. The reduction of ortho-substituted nitrobenzene such as o-nitrotoluene, o-nitrophenol, o-nitroanisole was slower than the para isomer. Typically, the nitro compound is refluxed in ethanol with a large exess of 4-vinylcyclohexene in the presence of Pd-C catalyst. Under the above conditions, p-nitrobenzaldehyde, p-nitrobenzyl alcohol, and p-nitrobenzyl acetate were reduced to p-toluidine.

Dinitramide salts may be useful as effective solid oxidizers because of higher oxygen content than nitrate salts. 3-Nitramino-propanoate was given by base treatement in the retro-Michael reaction of N-nitro-4-azaheptanedioate, which was prepared by nitration of 4-azaheptanedioate using $HNO_3$-TFAA(trifiluoroacetic anhydride)-$Br_2$. The nitramino compound was treated wile $NO_2BF_4$ to give dinitramino compound which was subsequently reacted with bases to give dinitramide salts.

Aliphatic and aromatic nitro compounds were selectively reduced to their corresponding amino derivatives in good yields using formic acid and CeY zeolite under monomode reactor. This system is found to be compatible with several sensitive functionalities. Beside the recycling result showed it had a long catalyst lifetime and could maintain activity even after being used for 20 cycles.

An activated catalyst prepared from a mixture of nickel nitrate hexahydrate with zinc in dry ethanol under reflux showed exceptional catalytic activity for the reduction of nitroarenes to the corresponding azoxy compounds exclusively in the presence of hydrazine monohydrate. However, when nickel nitrate hexahydrate was replaced by nickel chloride dihydrate with zinc, only the aminoarenes were formed in high yields. With unactivated catalyst, the reduction reaction from a mixture of nitroarenes, nickel nitrate or chloride, excess zinc and hydrazine monohydrate gave the corresponding azo, azoxy and amino compounds in much lower yields.

We present improved correlations between theoretical and experimental determination of heat of formation of some aliphatic nitro compounds. The method is based on a previously given theoretical procedure, which is ameliorate through the introduction of suitable bond parameters. The comparison with available experimental data and previous theoretical estimation show a quite satisfactory improvement. Some possible further extensions are pointed out.
