Conclusions

The hydrogenation of nitrobenzene in an aprotic medium in the presence of quinones is realized by a reduction-protonation mechanism through alternating stages of electron transfer and protonation. The function of proton donor is fulfilled by the corresponding hydroquinones formed from the quinones under the reaction conditions.
