Chemoselective Hydrogenation of Nitro Compounds with Supported Gold Catalysts

Abstract: The selective reduction of a nitro group when other reducible functions are present is a difficult process that often requires stoichiometric amounts of reducing agents or, if H2 is used, the addition of soluble metals. Gold nanoparticles supported on TiO2 or Fe2O3 catalyzed the chemoselective hydrogenation of functionalized nitroarenes with H2 under mild reaction conditions that avoided the accumulation of hydroxylamines and their potential exothermic decomposition. These chemoselective hydrogenation gold cat… Show more

“…No intermediate diazo products were detected. [17][18][19] The reaction sequence was confirmed by reacting cyclohexylaniline 4 at 60 ºC in the presence of Pd/C. In that case, dicyclohexylamine 5 was obtained with very high selectivity, as a primary product.…”

“…Gold catalyzes various hydrogenation reactions such as the hydrogenation of alkenes (3)(4)(5)(6)(7)(8)(9)(10)(11)(12), alkadiens (13)(14)(15)(16)(17)(18) alkynes (13,(19)(20)(21)(22)(23)(24)(25), , -unsaturated carbonyl compounds and nitro compounds (47)(48)(49)(50)(51)(52)(53). In contrast to traditional hydrogenation catalysts such as platinum, palladium or ruthenium, which require modification, it often shows remarkable selectivities when multiple functional groups are present.…”
