Chemoselective transfer hydrogenation of nitroarenes by highly dispersed Ni-Co BMNPs was written by Zhang, Jia-wei;Lu, Guo-ping;Cai, Chun. And the article was included in Catalysis Communications in 2016.Computed Properties of C8H6N2O2 This article mentions the following:
Highly dispersed Ni-Co bimetallic nanoparticles (Ni-Co BMNPs) are synthesized and applied as an efficient catalyst in the chemoselective transfer hydrogenation of nitroarenes using hydrazine hydrate as the hydrogen donor. The BMNPs can efficiently catalyze the reduction reaction without any additives under mild conditions with high TOF. Significantly higher activity is achieved when compared with corresponding single-component catalysts; optimal composition of the Ni-Co BMNPs was screened, which proved to be crucial in both the selectivity and yields. Excellent performance of Ni-Co BMNPs can be ascribed to the improved dispersion of active sites on the BMNPs surface (compared with Ni NPs) and the electron transfer from cobalt to nickel. In the experiment, the researchers used many compounds, for example, 6-Nitro-1H-indole (cas: 4769-96-4Computed Properties of C8H6N2O2).
6-Nitro-1H-indole (cas: 4769-96-4) belongs to indole derivatives. Indole, also called Benzopyrrole, a heterocyclic organic compound occurring in some flower oils, such as jasmine and orange blossom, in coal tar, and in fecal matter. Moreover, it is known that it controls biofilm formation. However, the role of indole in the cell has not been fully elucidated.Computed Properties of C8H6N2O2
