Conclusions

  1. 1.

    The hydrogenation of aromatic nitro compounds on an iridium catalyst proceeds rapidly with quantitative yields of the amino products; the catalyst is highly stable in operation.

  2. 2.

    In the hydrogenation of halogen-containing nitro compounds the ratio of the apparent rate constants for hydrogenation and dehalogenation of the nitro compound is much higher than on catalysts examined earlier.

  3. 3.

    The iridium catalyst is potentially useful in the production of halogen-substituted amines by hydrogenation of halonitrobenzenes.
