Liquid phase hydrogenation of nitriles is an important method for the production of amines, which find a variety of applications as intermediates in chemical and pharmaceutical industry. In the present work, a highly efficient Pd@mpg-C3N4 catalytic system has been developed for chemoselective reduction of nitriles providing good to excellent conversion with remarkable chemoselectivity (up to 99%) without additives. Compared with homogeneous catalyst systems, the developed protocol is more advantageous due to the use of ambient hydrogen, solvent free and effective catalyst recyclability.
Graphical abstractA highly efficient Pd@mpg-C3N4 catalytic system has been developed for chemoselective reduction of nitriles providing good to excellent conversion with remarkable chemoselectivity (up to 100%) without additives. Compared with homogeneous catalyst systems, the developed protocol is more advantageous due to use of ambient hydrogen, solvent free and effective catalyst recyclability.Figure optionsDownload full-size imageDownload as PowerPoint slideHighlights► Selective hydrogenation of nitriles were realized under mild conditions. ► We developed the novel, active Pd@mpg-C3N4 for this process. ► This system affords high activity and selectivity under mild conditions. ► These catalysts possess good reusability.
