Conclusions

  1. 1.

    Rhodium complexes [(RhCl (COD)]2, RhCl(PPh3)3, and RhCl3 immobilized on silica gel modified by amino and aminophosphine groups catalyze selective reduction of nitrobenzene into aniline in Ar medium (25–82.4°C) by transfer of hydrogen from 2-propanol (KOH promotor) and sodium borohydride.

  2. 2.

    The rate of reduction of nitrobenzene by sodium borohydride is one to two orders of magnitude higher than with 2-propanol.

  3. 3.

    Incorporation of a halogen in the benzene ring results in a decrease in the rate of reduction of the nitro group. Reduction of halonitrobenzenes by sodium borohydride takes place in two stages: The NO2 group is reduced first, and the halogen is then cleaved.
