A transition metal-free, environment-friendly and practical protocol was developed either for the reduction of nitroarenes or for the deoxygenation of N-oxide containing heteroarenes. The reaction proceeded with the use of a non-toxic and cheap feedstock as elemental sulfur in aqueous methanol under relatively mild conditions. Green chemistry credentials were widely favorable compared to traditional and industrial protocols with good E-factors and a low production of waste. The strategy allowed the efficient reduction of a large variety of substituted-nitroarenes including various o-nitroanilines as well as selective reduction of various poly-nitroarenes in excellent yields with a broad substrate scope. The protocol was successfully extended to the deoxygenation of some N-oxide containing heteroarenes, like benzofuroxans, phenazine N,N'-dioxides, pyridine N-oxides, 2H-indazole N1-oxides, quinoxaline N1,N4-dioxides and benzo[d]imidazole N1,N3-dioxides. A gram-scale example for the synthesis of luminol, in green conditions, was reported. A solid mechanism of reaction was proposed from experimental evidences.
