Abstract
Dehalogenation has long been a critical topic in industrial chemistry. Despite the availability of various methods, many suffer from prolonged reaction times, low efficiency, and poor selectivity. Herein, we report the use of a monolith-supported palladium (Pd) catalyst in a continuous flow system to achieve the selective reduction of bromonitrobenzene. By precisely tuning the reaction conditions, reaction selectivity was effectively controlled, allowing preferential formation of either nitrobenzene or aniline. Under optimized conditions, the yield of nitrobenzene exceeded 80%, demonstrating the high efficiency of the catalytic system. The influence of reaction conditions such as time and temperature was investigated. These findings represent the fastest and most efficient approach reported to date for the reduction of aryl bromides.
期刊介绍:
Topics in Catalysis publishes topical collections in all fields of catalysis which are composed only of invited articles from leading authors. The journal documents today’s emerging and critical trends in all branches of catalysis. Each themed issue is organized by renowned Guest Editors in collaboration with the Editors-in-Chief. Proposals for new topics are welcome and should be submitted directly to the Editors-in-Chief.
The publication of individual uninvited original research articles can be sent to our sister journal Catalysis Letters. This journal aims for rapid publication of high-impact original research articles in all fields of both applied and theoretical catalysis, including heterogeneous, homogeneous and biocatalysis.
