Abstract

Herein, a mild and efficient method for synthesis of highly stable palladium nanoparticles (PdNPs) on Aristolochia Olivieri (AO) extract as a support and reducing agent is described. Investigation of catalytically activity of obtained catalyst (AO@PdNPs) was performed for the reduction of nitroaromatic compounds. Of note are the functional group tolerance, fast rate, and the ability to apply a scope of nitro compounds (up to 30). The synthesized catalyst was characterized with UV−visible spectra, FE-SEM, EDS, XRD, AAS, FT-IR, and TEM techniques. The corresponding amine product was obtained excellent to high yields. The catalytic activity of AO@ PdNPs for the hydrogenation of 4-methyl-2-nitroaniline and 4-methoxy-2-nitroaniline was pursued by UV-visible spectroscopy which presented excellent activity of catalyst.
