HYDROGENATION OF NITROBENZENE ON Au/ZrO2 CATALYSTS

Hydrogenation of Nitrobenzene to Aniline

Vapour phase hydrogenation of nitrobenzene over metal ( Ru , Ni , Pt , Pd ) supported on Ca 5 ( PO 4 ) 3 ( OH ) catalysts

Vapour phase hydrogenation of nitrobenzene is carried out over metal (Pt, Pd, Ru, Ni) supported on hydroxyapatite (HAP) catalysts at atmospheric pressure and low temperatures ranging from 225–350 °C. The time-on-stream analysis reveals that 2 wt.%Pd/HAP is quite stable up to 6 h of continuous operation and is found to be an efficient catalyst. The other metal catalysts suffer deactivation, whic...

Asymmetric Hydrogenation Catalysts

Iridium complexes with chiral N,P ligands have established themselves as efficient catalysts for the asymmetric hydrogenation of olefins, with largely complementary scope to Rh and Ru diphosphane complexes. In contrast to Rh and Ru catalysts, they do not require a coordinating polar group next to the C=C bond. Initial experiments with cationic phosphanyloxazoline (phox) complexes ([Ir(1)(cod)]X...

Nickel Hydrogenation Composite Catalysts Modified by Zirconium in Competitive Benzene Hydrogenation: Effect of Modifiers

A co-impregnation method was applied to the Ni/Zr-HMS/HZSM-5 catalyst (with various amounts of zirconium) during the hydrogenation of benzene. The physicochemical properties of the prepared nickel catalyst were characterized using X - ray diffraction, X - ray fluorescence, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, ultraviolet-visible diffuse reflectance spectroscopy, temperature-programmed desor...

Alkene Metalates as Hydrogenation Catalysts

First-row transition-metal complexes hold great potential as catalysts for hydrogenations and related reductive reactions. Homo- and heteroleptic arene/alkene metalates(1-) (M=Co, Fe) are a structurally distinct catalyst class with good activities in hydrogenations of alkenes and alkynes. The first syntheses of the heteroleptic cobaltates [K([18]crown-6)][Co(η4 -cod)(η2 -styrene)2 ] (5) and [K(...
