NiO-Al2O3 prepared from a Ni-Al hydrotalcite precursor as an efficient catalyst for transfer hydrogenation reactions

摘要

NiO-Al2O3 catalyst prepared by calcining a Ni-Al hydrotalcite precursor efficiently reduces nitroarenes and carbonyl compounds in presence of propan-2-ol and KOH. Presence of two different reducible groups in the substrate leads to chemoselective reduction. [References: 11]
