Epoxy compounds usually have stronger nucleophilic ability, because the alkyl group on the oxygen atom makes the bond angle smaller, which makes the lone pair of electrons react more dissimilarly with the electron-deficient system. Compound: 3-Bromo-4-chloronitrobenzene, is researched, Molecular C6H3BrClNO2, CAS is 16588-26-4, about Efficient and recyclable bimetallic Co-Cu catalysts for selective hydrogenation of halogenated nitroarenes.Reference of 3-Bromo-4-chloronitrobenzene.
Silica supported N-doped carbon layers encapsulating Co-Cu nanoparticles (Co1Cux@CN/SiO2) were prepared by a one-step impregnation of Co(NO3)2·6H2O, Cu(NO3)2·3H2O, urea and glucose, following in situ carbothermal reduction Effects of Cu contents on the catalytic performance of the Co1Cux@CN/SiO2 catalysts were investigated for selective hydrogenation of p-chloronitrobenzene to p-chloroaniline. The Co1Cu0.30@CN/SiO2 with Cu/Co molar ratio of 0.30:1 presented much higher activity and stability than the monometallic Co@CN/SiO2 catalyst. The addition of Cu into Co1Cux@CN/SiO2 catalysts had favorable effects on the formation of highly active Co-N sites and N-doped carbon layer. The role of the N-doped carbon layer was to protect the Co from oxidation by air, and the Co1Cu0.30@CN/SiO2 could be reused for at least 12 cycles without decrease in catalytic efficiency. Mechanistic and in situ IR studies revealed that the interaction effect between the Co and Cu atoms made the surface of Co highly electron rich, which decreased adsorption of halogen groups and resulting in the enhanced selectivity during chemoselective hydrogenation of halogenated nitroarenes for a wide scope of substrates.
