The differently substituted aromatic nitro compounds were chemoselectively reduced by Sm/HOAc system in an ionic liquid medium to afford aromatic amines. Under these conditions the other substituents, such as ‐X, ‐CHO, ‐COOH, ‐CN, ‐NHTos and ‐alkyl, remained intact. The notable advantages of this reaction are its mild conditions, simple operation, short reaction time, high yields and easy recycling of ionic liquid.
