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