An efficient, mild and selective synthesis of aromatic and aliphatic amines from the corresponding nitro compounds has been realized by using a ligand‐free heterogeneous nanocrystalline magnesium oxide‐stabilized palladium(0) catalyst, employing molecular hydrogen as the reductant. The catalyst is recovered quantitatively by simple filtration and was reused for several cycles with consistent activity.
