AgPd nanoshells (AgPd NSs) were used as dual catalysts for hydrogen production and reduction of organic compounds in a one‐pot protocol. AgPd NSs were very efficient catalysts for the reduction of several functional groups, including alkenes, alkynes, imines, nitro compounds, and azides. Excellent chemoselectivities were observed for α,β‐unsaturated ketones, esters, and cinnamonitrile. Also, deuterium‐labeled compounds were prepared by using D2O instead of H2O. A packed‐bed reactor containing the immobilized AgPd NSs in silica (AgPd/SiO2) was designed to be used in continuous‐flow conditions. An optimized flow system with AgPd NSs was able to give the desired compounds in high conversions with 30–60 min residence time (tR).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
