Photocatalytic Reduction of Nitrobenzene to Aniline in an Aqueous Suspension of Titanium(IV) Oxide Particles in the Presence of Oxalic Acid as a Hole Scavenger and Promotive Effect of Dioxygen in the System
Nitrobenzene was effectively and selectively reduced to aniline in an acidic aqueous suspension of titanium(IV) oxide photocatalyst in the presence of oxalic acid as a hole scavenger and the aniline yield was improved in the presence of a small amount of dioxygen.
