Abstract

In the novel catalytic transfer hydrogenation, 12 active hydrogen (H*) can be transferred from water/ethanol system as the efficient hydrogen donor and used directly for the hydrogenation of halogenated nitrobenzene over Ru–Fe/C catalyst, obtaining o-chloroaniline (o-CAN) with 98.0% selectivity at 99.8% conversion without hydrodehalogenation. Most other halogenated nitrobenzenes were reduced with selectivity >98%, and conversion >99.0%. Moreover, the Ru–Fe/C catalyst was still active after reaction for 480 h.
