Mechanochemical ball milling catalytic transfer hydrogenation (CTH) of aromatic nitro compounds using readily available and cheap ammonium formate as the hydrogen source is demonstrated as a simple, facile and clean approach for the synthesis of substituted anilines and selected pharmaceutically relevant compounds. The scope of mechanochemical CTH is broad, as the reduction conditions tolerate various functionalities, for example nitro, amino, hydroxy, carbonyl, amide, urea, amino acid and heterocyclic. The presented methodology was also successfully integrated with other types of chemical reactions previously carried out mechanochemically, such as amide bond formation by coupling amines with acyl chlorides or anhydrides and click-type coupling reactions between amines and iso(thio)cyanates. In this way, we showed that active pharmaceutical ingredients Procainamide and Paracetamol could be synthesized from the respective nitro-precursors on milligram and gram scale in excellent isolated yields.

The synthesis, characterization, and application of nitrogen-doped carbon supported Co catalysts in selective hydrogenation of nitroarenes are described. The cobalt-based catalysts are prepared by simple pyrolysis of ZIF-67, a typical MOF material, under inert atmosphere. Physicochemical properties of the Co/C-N catalysts have been investigated by X-ray diffraction, elemental analysis, atomic absorption spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The Co-based materials were found to be highly efficient in the chemoselective hydrogenation of nitroarenes. A broad range of substituted nitroarenes are converted to the corresponding anilines in excellent yields under industrially viable conditions with other reducing groups remaining intact. In situ ATR-IR and XPS characterizations reveal that the Co-N centers present in the catalyst favor the preferential adsorption of nitro groups, leading to this unique chemoselectivity. The kinetic parameters of 4-nitrostyrene hydrogenation over the Co/C-N catalyst were investigated.

Anilines are important feedstock for the synthesis of a variety of chemicals such as dyes, pigments, pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. The chemoselective catalytic reduction of nitro compounds represents the most important and prevalent process for the manufacture of functionalized anilines. Consequently, the development of selective catalysts for the reduction of nitro compounds in the presence of other reducible groups is a major challenge and is crucial. In this regard, herein we show that the cobalt oxide (Co3O4-NGr@C) based nano-materials, prepared by the pyrolysis of cobalt-phenanthroline complexes on carbon constitute highly selective catalysts for the transfer hydrogenation of nitroarenes to anilines using formic acid as a hydrogen source. Applying these catalysts, a series of structurally diverse and functionalized nitroarenes have been reduced to anilines with unprecedented chemo-selectivity tolerating halides, olefins, aldehyde, ketone, ester, amide and nitrile functionalities.
