Abstract

Modified catalytic system composed of selenium and cocatalysts such as pyridine and aniline, applied in the reduction of nitrobenzene to aniline in the presence of carbon monoxide and water is described. The reaction proceeds at 150–200°C and 3–4 MPa gauge pressure. After 1–2 h the reaction is complete, reaching nitrobenzene conversions of up to 98% with selectivity to aniline near 100%.
