Abstract

Catalytic deoxygenation of various N–O bonds using rhodium carbonyl compounds under a water gas shift reaction was studied. A catalyst system of Rh 6 (CO) 16 and N, N, N′, N′- tetramethyl-1, 3-propanediamine was found to have high activities for the following deoxygenations: 1) conversion of nitrobenzenes to anilines, 2) aliphatic nitro compounds to nitriles, 3) oximes to nitriles, 4) hydroxylamines to amines, and 5) amine oxides to amines. ...
