The Facile Production of p-Chloroaniline Facilitated by an Efficient and Chemoselective Metal-Free N/S Co-Doped Carbon Catalyst.

ABSTRACT: The catalytic hydrogenation of the toxic and harmful p-chloronitrobenzene to produce the value-added p-chloroaniline is an essential reaction for the sustainable chemical industry. Nevertheless, ensuring satisfactory control of its chemoselectivity is a great challenge. In this work, a N/S co-doped metal-free carbon catalyst has been fabricated by using cysteine as a source of C, N, and S. The presence of calcium citrate (porogen agent) in the mixture subjected to pyrolysis provided the carbon with porosity, which permitted us to overcome the issues associated with the loss of heteroatoms during an otherwise necessary activation thermal treatment. Full characterization was carried out and the catalytic performance of the metal-free carbon material was tested in the hydrogenat
