Hydrogenation of isomeric dinitronaphthalenes on a palladium-containing anion exchanger
Liquid-phase hydrogenation of dinitronaphthalenes on the palladium-containing anion-exchange resin AV-17-8 (AV-17-8-Pd) and a Pd/C catalyst affords corresponding naphthylenediamines via the formation of nitronaphthylamines. The rate of the reaction depends on temperature, solvent nature, and the value of the effective charge on the oxygen atoms and the nitro group as a whole.
