A PdAg bimetallic nanocatalyst for selective reductive amination of nitroarenes

Abstract

Herein we have identified an optimal catalyst, Pd1Ag1.7, for the tandem reductive amination between nitroarenes and aldehydes (selectivity > 93%). Key to the success is the ability to control the compositions of the investigational Pd1−xAgx (x = 0–1) catalysts, as well as the clear composition dependent activity/selectivity trend observed in this study. This catalyst features a wide substrate scope, excellent recyclability, activity and selectivity under ambient conditions.
