Cost-effective and environmentally friendly conversion of nitroarenes into value-added products is desirable but still challenging. In this work, highly dispersed Ni nanoparticles (NPs) supported on N-doped mesoporous carbon (Ni/NC-x) were synthesized via novel ion exchange-pyrolysis strategy. Their catalytic performance was investigated for one-pot transfer hydroalkylation of nitrobenzene (NB) with EtOH in absence of H2. Interestingly, the catalytic performance could be easily manipulated by tuning the morphology and electronic state of Ni NPs via varying the pyrolysis temperature. It was found that the Ni/NC-650 achieved 100 % nitrobenzene conversion and approx. 90 % selectivity of N,N-diethyl aniline at 240 °C for 5 h, more active than those of homogeneous catalysts or supported Ni catalysts prepared by impregnation (Ni/NC-650-IM, Ni/SiO2). This can be ascribed to the higher dispersion and better reducibility as well as richer surface basicity of the catalyst. More interestingly, the Ni/NC-650 catalyst achieved complete conversion of various nitroarenes, yielding imines, secondary amines, or tertiary amines selectively by simply controlling the reaction temperature at 180, 200 and 240 °C, respectively. The one-pot hydrogen-free process with non-noble metal catalysts, as demonstrated in this work, shows great promise for selective conversion of nitroarenes with ethanol to various anilines at industrial scale, from an economic, environmental, and safety viewpoint.

A simple and selective copper(II) chloride-mediated monochlorination of anilines and nitrogen-containing heterocycles has been developed. Stirring a mixture of aniline, copper(II) chloride, lithium chloride in EtOH under reflux condition produced 4-chloroaniline with high yield. Eighteen substrates including substituted anilines, N-substituted anilines, N,N-disubstituted anilines, 5-nitroindole and carbazole were all reactive and afforded desired products in moderate to excellent yields (52%–98%).

It is highly desirable to develop efficient heterogeneous photocatalysts for organic reactions. Here, we show the preparation and catalytic performance of a novel TiO2 (P25) supported Cu and Mo photocatalyst (Cu-Mo/TiO2) for N-alkylation of amines with alcohols under UV irradiation at room temperature. A variety of aromatic and aliphatic amines were selectively converted into the corresponding secondary amines or tertiary amines in moderate to excellent yields without the addition of any co-catalysts such as bases and organic ligands. Noteworthy, this catalytic system is feasible in the alkylation of anilines containing halogen substituents with alcohols and the yields of the desired products are up to 95%.
