Reduction of aromatic nitro compounds with hydrazine hydrate in the presence of their on(III) oxide-MgO catalyst prepared from a Mg-Fe hydrotalcite precursor
Iron(III) oxide-MgO catalyst prepared from a Mg-Fe hydrotalcite precursor shows high activity and selectivity for reduction of aromatic nitro compounds under mild reaction conditions. The catalyst is reusable and regenerable. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
