Abstract

Modified catalyst systems composed of palladium or its chloride and co-catalysts such as FeCl3, Fe2O3, metallic Fe-powder, metallic Fe-wire net, iodine, pyridine or aniline, applied in the reduction of nitrobenzene to aniline in the presence of carbon monoxide and water are described. The reaction proceeds at 150–180 °C and 2.5–7 MPa gauge pressure. After 1–7 h the reaction was complete, reaching nitrobenzene conversions of 98–100%. Selectivity of the reaction with respect to aniline was also 100%.
