Heterogeneous Cobalt Nanocatalyst for Reductive Transformation of Nitroarenes to Aryl Amines Using Isopropanol as a Hydrogen Source

Industrial & Engineering Chemistry Research, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: unknown

Published: March 19, 2025

Herein, we introduce an efficient catalytic transfer hydrogenation method using inexpensive, environmentally friendly, and readily available isopropyl alcohol as a hydrogen donor for selectively reducing diverse nitroarenes. The process employs cobalt-based nanocatalyst (Co–N/Al2O3), synthesized via simple impregnation cobalt nitrate, 1,10-phenanthroline, γ-Al2O3 precursors. This proves highly effective in producing wide range of aryl amines (35 examples), pharmaceutical intermediates (4 late-stage functional group transformations (1 example), with yields ranging from moderate to excellent (70–98%) across various scales. catalyst was characterized HR-TEM, powder XRD, XPS, H2-TPR, N2 adsorption–desorption, Raman spectroscopy, ICP-OES techniques. These analyses confirmed the formation Co3O4 nanoparticles. exceptional performance Co–N/Al2O3 is attributed its optimized textural, morphological, acidic properties, which are superior other catalysts. Mechanistic studies provided insights into formed during different stages reaction indirect route (condensation mechanism). recyclability were validated through experimental testing, demonstrating consistent efficiency over three consecutive cycles. sustainable offers promising alternative conventional processes that use molecular hydrogen.
