Azides were reduced to the corresponding amines by two new metal/Lewis acid systems in aqueous EtOH with yields ranging from 80% to 95%. The new reduction systems were Fe/AlCl 3 ·6H 2 O or Fe/BiCl 3 system in H 2 O/ethanol (2:1, V : V ) at room temperature. Fifteen azides with different functional groups were well reduced to the corresponding amines in excellent yields.
