Kinetics of the hydrogenation of 2-chloro-4-nitroaniline over skeletal nickel and supported palladium catalysts in an aqueous solution of 2-propanol

Abstract

The kinetics of the liquid-phase hydrogenation of 2-chloro-4-nitroaniline in an aqueous solution of 2-propanol over skeletal nickel and supported palladium catalysts is studied. The selectivity of the reaction with respect to 2-chloro-1,4-phenylenediamine is determined. It is found that samples of supported palladium catalysts differ with respect to the amount of the active component and the nature of the support. Some of their structural characteristics are provided.
