Chemoselective Transfer Hydrogenation of Nitroarenes Catalyzed by Highly Dispersed, Supported Nickel Nanoparticles
A recyclable
highly dispersed Ni/SiO<sub>2</sub> catalyst was prepared
by atomic layer deposition. Chemoselective reduction of nitroarenes
was studied using the prepared Ni/SiO<sub>2</sub> as the catalyst
and hydrazine hydrate as a hydrogen donor. Different kinds of nitroarenes
were converted to the corresponding anilines with high yields. The
high activity of the catalysts could be a result of the highly dispersed
Ni nanoparticles
