A convenient, environmentally benign and highly chemoselective protocol for the preparation of aromatic amines from the corresponding nitroarenes using polymer-supported hydrazine hydrate under microwave heating has been described. This methodology efficiently combines the advantages of polymer-supported chemistry and microwave irradiation technique.
