A new type of metal‐free catalytic hydrogenation has been developed, which allows for the reduction of various nitroarenes to the corresponding anilines with excellent yields and chemoselectivities. The hydrogenation takes place under very mild conditions using dihydrogen in combination with fullerene catalysts.
