Pd-Fe/SiO2 Catalysts in the Hydrogenation of 2,4-Dinitrotoluene

, p. 356 - 367 (1994)
Pd-Fe/SiO2 bimetallic catalysts with a constant amount of Pd and a different Fe/Pd ratio were prepared by sequential wet impregnation and the hydrogenation of 2,4-dinitrotoluene was carried out at 25 deg C in a batch reactor.The presence of Fe enhances the Pd catalytic activity.The formation of a dispersed Pd-Fe alloy was evidenced through X-ray powder diffraction and is consisted with the data observed by FTIR analysis, TPR, and chemisorption features.The increase of the Fe total content of the catalysts results in the increase of the dispersion of the metallic phase and in the presence of partially oxidized Fe species.FTIR analysis shows that nitrocompounds chemisorb mainly on the support rather than on the metal surface.It is suggested that the Pd-Fe alloy formation is responsible for the increase of the catalytic activity because of a cooperative effect of Fe in the hydrogen transfer step.
Highly Selective Room Temperature Monoreduction of Dinitro-arenes by Hydrogen Sulfide under Liquid–Liquid Biphasic Catalysis

Selective reduction of one of the nitro group present in dinitro aromatic compounds by a novel Zinin reagent, H2S-laden N-methyldiethanolamine (MDEA) solution, has been explored in the presence of tetra-n-butyl phosphonium bromide as a phase transfer catalyst under the liquid–liquid mode of reaction. Under the room temperature reaction condition, reduction of 2,4-dinitrotoluene (2,4-DNT) with H2S-laden MDEA leads to the selective reduction of one nitro group present either at the fourth position to obtain 4-amino-2-nitrotoluene (4A2NT) or at the second position to get 2-amino-4-nitrotoluene (2A4NT). The reaction was very fast to achieve 100% conversion, and the selectivity of 4A2NT is much higher than the 2A4NT. A detailed parametric study was performed to analyze the effect of parameters on 2,4-DNT conversion and selectivity of both the isomers. The apparent activation energy was found to be as high as 46.25 kJ/mol, and the reaction was found to be kinetically controlled. An empirical kinetic model has been developed to correlate with the conversion version time data obtained experimentally. The present system dealt with an industrial problem in dealing with H2S, present in by-product gaseous streams of many petroleum and natural gas industries. Novelties in the selective monoreduction lie in that fact that the reaction was done at room temperature (303 K), with a novel reagent, H2S-laden MDEA solution. Therefore waste-minimization was effected to yield value-added fine chemicals, that is, amines.

Catalytic transfer hydrogenation (CTH) of aromatic nitro and carbonyl compounds over novel Fe(III) substituted hexagonal mesoporous aluminophosphate (FeHMA) molecular sieve catalyst showed excellent regioselectivity/chemoselectivity as well as superior recycling capability. Furthermore, the reduction occurs without affecting other functional groups such as -CN, -CHO, -Cl,-CH3,-OCH3 and -NH2.

A new approach to the synthesis of immobilized catalysts of the mixed type was developed: frontal polymerization of metal-containing monomers in the presence of a highly dispersed inorganic support. The synthesis of the acrylamide complex of PdII nitrate on the SiO2 surface followed by polymerization and reduction results in the formation of a polymer-inorganic composite with inclusions of Pd nanoparticles stabilized by the polymer matrix on the support surface. The study of the catalytic properties in the hydrogenation of nitrotoluene derivatives showed that the polymer-immobilized Pd nanoparticles on the inorganic support are efficient catalysts for the reduction of the nitrocompounds.
Electrochemical treatment of 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene and related compounds
Rodgers, James D.,Bunce, Nigel J.
, p. 406 - 410 (2001)
This work involves electrolysis of nitrotoluene congeners, which are persistent pollutants that enter the environment as a consequence of their manufacture and use as explosives. Reduction to aminotoluenes occurred with high current efficiency at a variety of cathodes, at potentials -0.5 to -1 V vs SCE. The products were formed in high chemical yield and with excellent mass balance. Preliminary experiments were also carried out to find methods of removing the electrolysis products from solution by oxidative oligomerization. The most satisfactory method was partial reoxidation at a Ti/IrO2 anode, suggesting an overall remediation technology in which reduction is followed by reoxidation of the spent catholyte in the anode compartment of the same electrolytic cell.

Liquid-phase selective monohydrogenation of various substituted dinitroaromatics to the corresponding valuable nitroanilines was investigated on gold-based catalysts. Special attention was paid to the effect of Au particle size on this monoreduction reaction. Interestingly, TiO2 supported gold catalysts containing a relatively larger mean Au particle size (>5 nm) showed far superior chemoselectivity for specific mono-hydrogenation of dinitroaromatics, with the highest performance attainable for the catalyst bearing Au particles of ca. 7.5 nm. Results in the intermolecular competitive hydrogenation showed that the intrinsic higher accumulation rates of the desired nitroanilines associated with the catalyst possessing larger Au particles were responsible for the high chemoselectivity observed. the Partner Organisations 2014.
