Abstract

The Ir/AlO(OH) catalyst was prepared by sol-gel method and used for selective hydrogenation of p-chloronitrobenzene (p-CNB) to p-chloroniamine (p-CAN). The mechanism of p-CNB hydrogenation over the catalyst was discussed. The hydrogen bond between the surface hydroxyl groups of the catalyst and the nitrogen present in p-CNB facilitated the hydrogenation of nitro group. On the other hand, the formation of hydrogen bond between the hydrogenation product and water promotes the rapid desorption of the hydrogenation product on the surface of the catalyst. Thus the activity and selectivity were greatly promoted.
