Reductions with components of water gas (CO/H 2 O) can be catalyzed by selenium; thus nitroarenes are transformed in the presence of metallic selenium and triethylamine into arylamines. H 2 Se may plausibly be assumed as the reaction species. In a control experiment, nitrobenzene and H 2 Se underwent quantitative conversion (under N 2 ) into aniline.
