Abstract: A procedure for practical synthesis of CuNPs from CuSO4·5H2O is established, under appropriate reaction conditions, using rice (Oryza sativa) as an economic source of reducing as well as a stabilizing agent. Optical and microscopic techniques are employed for the characterization of the synthesized CuNPs and the sizes of the particles were found to be in the range of 8 ± 2 nm. The nanoparticles are used as a catalyst for chemoselective reduction of aromatic nitro compounds to corresponding amines under ambient conditions and water as a reaction medium. Graphic abstract: CuNPs are synthesized using hydrolysed rice and used as catalyst for chemoselective reduction of nitroarenes to their corresponding amines in water.

Highly nitrogen-doped mesoporous carbon (N-mC) material incorporated cobalt oxide nanoparticles was synthesized through simple pyrolysis of environmentally friendly chitosan-polyaniline-Co(OAc)2 precursor in one-step. The as-prepared catalyst named CoO&at;N-mC with 14.65 ?wtpercent nitrogen content was characterized by different analysis techniques. The heterogeneous catalyst exhibits outstanding catalytic activity for the reduction of a variety of nitroaromatic compounds in the presence of NaBH4 as a reducing agent in water as a green solvent at 75 ?°C. Utilization of natural biological macromolecules such as chitosan as green and cheap starting material with harmless aniline and earth-abundant cobalt salt, facile synthesis, excellent product yield, short reaction time, high chemoselectivity, sustainable and mild reaction condition, and reusability of catalyst for at least five cycles without any significant decline in the catalytic efficiency are some prominent merits of this new nanocatalyst.

Ru/TiO2 catalysts exhibit excellent catalytic performance for selective reduction of 4-nitroacetophenone to 4-aminoacetophenone at normal temperature and atmospheric hydrogen pressure. Moreover, 99.9% selectivity to 4-aminoacetophenone can be obtained over 2.7 wt% Ru/TiO2(anatase) catalyst even in a relatively wide temperature (55-115 °C) and time (1-12 h) range. Its excellent catalytic performance is derived from the activation of H2 on the Ru nanoparticles at atmospheric pressure and the strong interaction of nitro groups with the support surface. Additionally, Ru nanoparticles supported on different crystalline TiO2 phases (anatase and rutile) result in different reaction pathways for 4-nitroacetophenone. Since the Ti-Ti distance on the rutile surface is smaller than that on the anatase surface, the hydroxylamine species adsorbed on the Ti atoms of rutile are more susceptible to the coupling reaction. Therefore, Ru/TiO2(rutile) causes a series of intermediates to accumulate during the conversion process, while Ru/TiO2(anatase) allows the highly selective conversion of 4-nitroacetophenone to 4-aminophenone. In addition, Ru/TiO2(anatase) can achieve chemoselective reduction of nitroaromatics to the corresponding anilines in the presence of -CN, -CHO, and -COOH, especially nitroaromatics containing CC and CC, indicating the excellent applicability.
