Abstract

Calcined Ni-Al hydrotalcite (HT) 2: 1, Cat. A, is a superactive catalyst for reduction of substituted aromatics, i. e. toluene, benzene, nitrobenzene, chloro-, bromo-, and iodobenzene to their respective alicyclic products at room temperature in the presence of molecular hydrogen. Cat. A attained higher conversions compared to calcined Ni-Al hydrotalcites with ratios of 2.5: 1, and 3: 1. Calcined Ni-Al HT is a superactive catalyst whereas catalysts Niγ-Al₂O₃ or Ni-SiO₂ with Ni contents of 2%, 5%, and 10% resulted in poor conversions. In these cases, Ni in association with the respective oxide is the active precursor for molecular hydrogen initiation in the reduction of aromatics to alicyclic compounds. The objective is to evalua4e Ni as the best catalyst for aromatic ring reduction to alicylic molecule. Quantitative yield were obtained for all the substrates toluene, benzene, nitrobenzene, chloro-, bromo-, and iodobenzene to their respective cyclohexanes. These results indicate that hydrogenation with reusable Ni-Al HT catalysts is a green sustainable process and atom economy efficient for the production of various alicyclic compounds.
