The reduction of aromatic nitro compounds with hydrogen sulfide was investigated. Polar aprotic solvents were more effective as a solvent. The reduction was promoted by the addition of the strong basic amine. The p-substituted nitrobenzenes carrying electron-withdrawing groups accelerated the reaction, where azoxy and azo compounds were obtained as the by-products.
