Abstract

The Ru3(CO)12/PEDPA complex was firstly applied in the CO selective reduction of 4-propylthio-2-nitroaniline. The effects of reaction temperature, the pressure of CO and concentration of catalyst on the reduction were investigated. Under the optimum conditions of T=140°C, P CO=5.0MPa and substrate/catalyst = 300 (molar ratio), the conversion and selectivity were 70% and 98%, respectively. After simple phase separation, the catalyst could be recycled.
