Re: Trying to figure out reaction mechanism for reduction of nitro group.
After the oxygen gives its pi electron to nitrogen, the positive charge moves to oxygen and this molecule is still positive.

Re: Trying to figure out reaction mechanism for reduction of nitro group.
I think that there’s a problem with charge in the first step.
How can a neutral compound become negative after getting a proton?
If H is not a proton but a hydride, how can a negative oxygen attack a negative hydride?
