Ultramild conversion of nitrobenzene to aniline mediated by metal organic alloy NiGraf in green solvent

Year: 2026

Type: preprint

Abstract: The conversion of nitrobenzene to aniline can be carried out under ultramild conditions (35 °C under N2 at ambient pressure) with a 40% molar excess of hydrazine as reducing agent mediated by metal-organic alloy NiGraf in aqueous tetrahydrofuran, a green solvent. Conversion of nitrobenzene to aniline will optimally employ the stable and recyclable form of the NiGraf, consisting of reduced graphene oxide entrapped in jamborite nanoparticles, in renewable solvent system H2O/THF.
