Conversion of N-arylhydroxylamines in the presence of metal complexes and heterogeneous catalysts

Conclusions The nature of the component distribution and the transformations in the catalytic hydrogenation of aromatic nitro compounds are analogous for the use of metal complex, colloidal, and heterogeneous catalysts. The hydrogenation features the formation of amino compounds due to disproportionation of intermediate N-arylhydroxylamines.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 12, pp. 2846–2848, December, 1988.The author thanks A. V. Bulatov for providing samples of the metal complex catalyst.
