摘要
Azides were reduced to the corresponding amines by two new metal/Lewis acid systems in aqueous EtOH with yields ranging from 80% to 95%. The new reduction systems were Fe/AlCl3·6H2O or Fe/BiCl3 system in H2O/ethanol （2 ： 1, Ⅴ ：Ⅴ） at room temperature. Fifteen azides with different functional groups were well reduced to the corresponding amines in excellent yields.
