In my opinion, that paper ain't kosher. It is full of typos and obvious errors.
Back in prehistoric times, I attempted the NiCl2/NaBH4 reduction of Nitropropenylbenzenes. Though to be clear, I made those attempts on substrates,
that if successfully reduced, would not yield psychoactive or illegal products.
In no case, did such reductions produce amines.
Though at least some type of reduction was probably achieved, as indicated by significant de-colorization of my reaction mixture.
Most likely, reduction stopped at the oxime stage.
Easy enough to find out. It doesn't require a room full of equipment.
Filter, distill off organic solvents, acidify with aqueous HCl, and steam distill.
P2P might accumulate in your distillate.
In my neck of the woods, that ain't legal, unless you have a permit, of course.

Thanks for the explanation @TheMasterOfTheInternet.
Why don't you make a write up here about your work with NiCl2/NaBH4 to people here try to reproduce it and check the consistency of the results and
the yields?
You must have noted that the most of people here doubts NiCl2/NaBH4 can reduce completely, or at least at a reasonable yields, alpha alkyl
nitrostyrenes to aryl alkylamines.
@C/J made a reference to an anonymous write up brought by @Clearly_not_atara in another thread about NaBH4/CuCl2 reduction I reproduce below. Why
don't you do the same with NiCl2/NaBH4?
Amphetamine from P2NP and NaBH4-CuCl2
"With vigorous stirring, to 5ml of IPA / 1g of P2NP and 0.4 times volume of H2O in RBF was dumped 6 mol eq. of NaBH4.
Recrystallized P2NP was washed with sodium bisulfite solution, then with and water and it was then added in small portions to the mixture to minimize
frothing. No external cooling applied. After all substrate was added and near-colourless solution is obtained, the solution left stirring for 30
minutes. Claisen adapter was fitted to the rbf with reflux setup and addition funnel. With one portion, 10%-mol equivalent (for the nitroalkene) of
CuCl2.2H2O dissolved in IPA was added to the solution via the funnel. It was refluxed for 30 minutes. After which the remaining NaBH4 was destroyed by
adding about 50% acetic acid untill the fizzing stopped and the solution was fairly acidic. With the claisen adapter still attaced, short path
distillation setup was rigged and everything below 100'C was stripped. Then the solution was made basic dripping strong NaOH solution to the reaction
flask and steam distilled. Additional very dilute NaOH solution was added through the addition funnel every now and then. The distillate was then made
slightly acidic with H2SO4 and evaporated. Total yield after recrystallization: 80% mol wise from the P2NP due to very sloppy work"

I am bringing another paper attached that reinforces the theory that CU+2 salts combined with NaBH4 can reduce P2NP to amphetamine in one pot.
The paper talks about the reduction of oximes to amines with CuSO4/NaBH4 couple.
If some members here thinks the reduction of P2NP with CUSO4 (or CUCl2)/NaBH4 couple could stop, at the beginning, at the oxime stage, this paper
proves that the oxime can be reduced, in the sequence, to the amine, just increasing the molar amount of the reagents.
Think about. Read the paper I brought talking about reduction of nitro compounds by CuSO4/NaBH4 couple: http://www.sciencemadness.org/talk/files.php?pid=603937&... Then read the anonymous write up brought by @Clearly_not_Atara I reproduced here:
http://www.sciencemadness.org/talk/viewthread.php?tid=144546... And finally, read the paper I'm attaching now.
I think it worth I try experimenting the anonymous write up brought by @Clearly_not_atara, even substituting CuCl2 by the OTC CuSO4, and substituting
IPA by ETOH, to increase NaBH4 solubility and the yields, like @TheMasterofTheInternet said.
Somebody would to try and post the results here?

Chemi Pharma, just do it so you are convinced of it working exactly as stated.
The oxime reduction using Cu(II) salts isn't doing it, just look at the amount of produced dimeric and monomeric substance in there.
The Ni(II) method is valuable in turn instead for oximes, but despite your own claim of success, never seen that being reproduced by someone else on
nitropropenes(just that one example on a nitrostyrene. with lower yield though).

Just not me claims about the viability of Raney Nickel or NiCl2/NaBH4 to reduce nitropropenes. @TheMasterofTheInternet say the same, see here:
http://www.sciencemadness.org/talk/viewthread.php?tid=144546...
A time ago @Bottle claimed sucess too with Ra-Ni/NaBH4 to reduce 2,5 dimethoxy nitrostyrene with good yield. See here:
http://www.sciencemadness.org/talk/viewthread.php?tid=80555&...
Besides too many papers I have brought here written by a lot of researchers about NiCl2/NaBH4 reductions kind. See here:
http://www.sciencemadness.org/talk/viewthread.php?tid=80555&...
I really think It's impossible these sciencemadness members and all these researchers worldwide were lying and have published only bullshits.
Something is wrong with their published experiments, or about the equivalence of the substrate/reagent or with the work up. The theory seems nice to
me, although neighter me, nor @Nimgoldman have got the theorical results in practice. May be impurities in the substrate or impure reagents we had
used, I don't know.
I will try the CuCl2/NaBH4 write up for sure, but I was waiting somebody here bring more new ideas, to clarify my mind, before start the lab practice.

Yeah I know about your papers, just quoting what several people told me in private mostly.
If you want to, I have here an experiment from someone named not_karlos where also some mistakes were made but which turned out quite nice.
This was done by that person:
2,51g 2,5-Dimethoxynitrostyrene(12mmol) was added to
3,5g NaBH4(93mmol) in 32/16ml of IPA/H2O, 20min after the reaction(no cooling applied), a solution of
0,2g CuCl2*2H2O(1,2mmol) in 6ml 1:1 IPA/H2O was added at once, then refluxed for 40min
After reaching r.t, a 25% solution of NaOH (20 ml) was added, the phases separated and
aqueous phase extracted again with IPA(2x30 ml).
The extractions combined, dried with Na2SO4, filtered, acidified.
The IPA was distilled off then, but the residue was still dirty.
So it was extracted with 3x15ml DCM, then basified and the freebase extracted with 3x30ml DCM,
the extracts acidified using diluted HCl, the aq. portion separated and
evaporated, boiled in dry acetone then filtered, washed with acetone to give
-1,84g of white HCl salt(8,4mmol or 70%)

Thanks @Karlos. Very instrutive!
One more experiment to do soon. I'm curious too see if the yield with nitrostyrenes will be the same with nitropropenes.

One needs to add the nitrostyrene at a much colder temperature, this will give a better yield.
A friend recently got from the unsubstituted nitropropene a yield of 88% of amine sulfate!
This surely can be done with both nitrostyrenes and -propenes(or longer).

This is absolutely possible. I think maybe the reaction worked partly, most of the products being isomerised, polymerised or incompletely reduced
compounds (AFAIK). I might not have driven the reaction to completion as other noted.
I have ordered some mercury to perform the traditional Al/Hg, then I will try other, less toxic pathways: Ur-Ni (maybe Urushibara style aluminium
might work better), Ra-Ni, NiCl/NaBH4, CuCl/NaBH4, Leuckart and maybe even Gallium-activated aluminium (Al/Ga) - which seems really interesting
"non-toxic" process.
Obivously some people have success with methods other claim not working. It's probably in driving the reaction to endpoint correctly and in the workup
stage.

If I might help you a little from experience on this, I know a few people who attempted this already and had success, also probably have some
experience myself?
The Al/Hg was the gold standard for years, it needs some experience but then it works consistent.
You need to use Al grains, a friend swears on the I think it was 0,6mm size? I use grains in 0,6-2mm size and they finally made amalgamation reactions
absolutely consistent yielding.
The U-Ni was gotten to work by a friend, but he had low yield.
With selfmade raney he tried it as well, but he also got lower yields.
You need to reduce the nitropropene to the alkane before, then both methods will be very high yielding.
The NaBH4/CuCl2 is what we consider the new gold standard by the way.
Leuckart will get you around 50-60% yield at most, use base hydrolysis afterwards.

By alkane did you mean ketone, i.e. Ph-2-propanone?
Sure I will try different reduction methods but now I will start with the old "gold standard" so I have some reference method to compare the others
with.

He means the saturated Phenylnitro-alkane.............. After you do that, a large number of reduction systems are open to you to take it to the
amine......... I have more to add to this thread but I am drowning in papers and reports.
I will bee back after I glue my brain together.

Well @Karlos, I tried this but it didn't worked at all. Nor a milligram of amphetamine. I were hopeful cause at the end I've got a respectable amount
of white solid precipitate, after acetone cleaning, but after drying the solid, it has liquefied and I did Marquis test into the residue and no color
I've got at all. Just an efervecence, like when I did this reaction with NiCl2 instead CuCl2. I wonder the white solid precipitate is NaCl, resulted
of basic NaOH/DCM neutralization. As I know amphetamine hydrochloride is not deliquescent and Marquis test were definitive to accuse no amphetamine at
all. So, I give up.
Definitively, borohydride/transitions metal (metal borides) don't work to reduce the remaining nitro group. It's very effective to reduce
nitropropenes to nitropropanes, but the Beta nitro propane group is a pain in the ass to be reduced.
I will try that one step reduction with the classic LiAlH4 method told by Strike at "Total Synthesis book" and with the old Al/Hg amalgam to see if I
have any results. It's not possible my P2NP were impure. They were made with care and gave beauty yellow crystal needles.
@Stoichiometric_Steve gave a method dealing with Zn, formate and formic acid reduction: http://www.sciencemadness.org/talk/viewthread.php?tid=4965&a... to reduce the remaining nitro group of the nitropropane at a second step. May be
I'll give a try too.

Thats strange because many other people at our forum and at the hyperlab can confirm success.
Try it again, you must have done something very wrong, as the cause is clearly in you and not the procedure.
Copper nanoparticles(not borides) do reduce the nitro group very well.
By the way, Stoichiometric_Steve got the NaBH4/CuCl2 method to work too.
Actually, everyone who tried it has gotten it to work, you're the first person who failed.
Just read the respective threads at the hyperlab and at the vespiary and you will see that you're wrong with your claim that this reduction does not
work.
It really does only not work for you.
Maybe you will get it to work as well if you do it properly?
After all, it is also confirmed in two research papers, besides the confirmed success of a few dozen hobby chemists.

@Karlos, are you sure the people who did that reaction did it with P2NP and not with Nitrostyrenes instead? I believe this reaction works with
Nitrostyrenes, although I've never tried with, but, in my case, it didn't work with P2NP to give amphetamine, reducing the beta nitropropane nitro
group after reducing the nitropropene to nitropropane. It seems the reduction have stopped at oxime stage.

Yes, most on the unsubstituted P2NP. Two of them with 88% and 90% yield.
One of us even on 3-indolylnitropropene.
I did it myself on several nitropropenes, unsubstituted, 4-fluoro-, 3,4-methylendioxy-, 2,5-dimethoxy-, on all of those nitropropenes.
The last time I did it successfully on 2,5-dimethoxyphenylnitrobutene even.
There is no limit on which nitroalkenes it works.
P2NP gives the best yields, 80% of amine are easily reached.
I assume you haven't added the CuCl2 fast enough and dripped it in?
This is an usual source of failure, you need a large reaction vessel so that you're able to add it all at once in a vigorous reaction.
Only then the required concentration of copper nanoparticles will be reached to affect reduction of the nitro group to the amine.

All the legit tips have been said already but I will add that saving a seed crystal is never a bad idea!
THIS document is ironically quite the nitro aldol treasure trove. Replete with experimental section from seized "recipes" as they call them.
Using ammonium carbonate in GAA instead of n-butylamine (or etheylenediamine; I've sub'd this in and as long as your halve the molar amount due to it
having 2 amino groups it works like a charm as a catalyst) is quite the nice little tidbit insofar as OTC goes IMO.
Where I am neither benzaldehyde, nitroethane nor the resultant nitropropene are considered illegal so I'm actually tempted to try out their one-pot to
1-Phenyl-2-Propanone in 44% yield...... but alas P2P is for some strange reason illegal here

|
I also did the NiCl2*6H2O with NaBH4 reduction at least 5 times, not once did I have any success. I want to add I used very high grade regaent's which
a buddy brought me from his work place (a legit pharma industry). I call that NiCl2 method total crap & bogus ... like many other Indian Journal
papers I tried is also complete nonsens and I'm amazed that some Journals publish Indian chemistry since it's over and over lies and BS. The Varma
& Kabalka papers are to 50% total BS, and the rest 50% the yield they claime is heavily exaggerated
The Cucl2 + NaBH4 method is superior, best of all p2np reduction I've ever done, but only up to 20 gr batches, the more you increase Mol per batch the
lower theoretical yield you'll have (all people I know say the same., so I would be very suprized if someone have other news to tell) . The sodium
bisulphite washings of the p2np is first time I see someone mention here (THUMBS UP), that superb, very important to have good yield for whatever
you're using your p2np. That's the far best way to clean out all benzaldehyde contamination of the p2np, and whatever reaction you wanna do with your
p2np the benzaldehyde is a bitch and will interfere and gives lower yield ketone, oxime, nitroalkane or amine. Always wash p2np with sodium
bisulphite solution and recrystalize before doing any reaction

|
May I ask, do you use 40% bisulphite solution (the only one I have seen commercial) for the P2NP washing or you do the washing with lower
concentration bisulphite?
Something else I would like to ask regarding this CuCl2/NaBH4 reduction, has anyone tried it above 30-40 grams P2NP at once? A guy I know told me the
higher mol at one you try reduce by this method, the less yield you will get. For example a 1 mol batch will never give you above 50% yield, as I said
this is according to someone who claim this and supposedly have tried it several times above 0.5 mol and claim it's the same result every time (low
yield). All other info I had from him so far is solid, but it would be nice having it confirmed by a second source. Never tried it myself
