Nitrogen-doped carbon nanotubes (N-CNTs) containing 63%, 73% and 80% pyrrolic-N were synthesized and used to evaluate the influence of pyrrolic nitrogen on the physicochemical properties and catalytic activity of Pd supported on N-CNTs (Pd/N-CNTs). Micrographs of Pd/N-CNTs showed that Pd was located along the defect sites of N-CNTs indicating strong Pd-support interactions. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy revealed that the abundance of Pd0 decreased while that of Pd2+ increased as the quantity of pyrrolic nitrogen increased. The Pd2+ species were formed as Pd-N coordination complexes, which stabilized Pd2+ nanoparticles. Selective hydrogenation of nitrobenzophenone to aminobenzophenone or p-benzylaniline was used to evaluate the catalytic performance of catalysts. Pd/N-CNTs exhibited a higher selectivity towards aminobenzophenone than Pd on carbon nanotubes and Pd on activated carbon. The enhanced selectivity towards nitro-reduction alone, observed with Pd/N-CNTs was attributed to the promoting effect of pyrrolic-N. Hence, Pd/N-CNTs are promising catalysts for the selective reduction of nitro arenes.

Primary anilines are essential building blocks to synthesize various pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, pigments, electronic materials, and others. To date, the syntheses of primary anilines mostly rely on the reduction of nitroarenes or the transition-metal-catalyzed Ullmann, Buchwald-Hartwig and Chan-Lam cross-coupling reactions with ammonia, in which non-renewable petroleum-based chemicals are typically used as feedstocks via multiple step syntheses. A long-standing scientific challenge is to synthesize various primary anilines directly from renewable sources. Herein, we report a general method to directly convert a broad range of phenols into the corresponding primary anilines with the cheap and widely available hydrazine as both amine and hydride sources with simple Pd/C as the catalyst.

Traditional cross-couplings require stoichiometric organometallic reagents. A novel nickel-catalyzed cross-coupling reaction between aldehydes and aryl halides via hydrazone intermediates has been developed, merging the Wolff-Kishner reduction and the classical cross-coupling reactions. Aromatic aldehydes, aryl iodides and aryl bromides are especially effective in this new cross-coupling chemistry.
