Clean and Efficient Hydrogenative Cleavage of Azo Compounds Using Polymer‐Supported Formate and Zinc

Abstract Azo compounds, both symmetric and asymmetric, were chemoselectively reduced to the corresponding amine(s) using recyclable polymer‐supported formate as a hydrogen donor in the presence of zinc at room temperature.
