I know how to synthesize the nitrostyrene, but I would like some more detailed information on the reduction of beta-methyl beta-nitrostyrene to
beta-phenylisopropylamine using Red-Al, Al/Hg, and Zn/Hg.
Please write down the experimental section, and also references to scientific papers or other sources.
Yours sincerely

i know how plants are grown, but i would like somebody to spoonfeed me since i am just too lazy to use google.

I saw the Lemmigner reduction in the production of a compound called "AL." At first I was very optimistic about this after reading it, then the idea
occured to me, if it is so effective at making "AL" then why cant it be used to reduce all nitrstyene compounds? I had no answer to this
question.

Where I live you can get a 20% and 60% for the same price, just the solvents differ... not very cost effective compund I´d say, but selectivity of Al
seems to be great.

selectivity? refs please

Yeah, it´s on several pages I googeld, it leaves Halogens, Methoxy, Ethoxy, ethers, vinyl, etc. unattached.
