intermediates in a polar solvent [24] is the main factor
affecting the properties of the Pd–P/C catalyst. The basic
solvent (DMF) also favors the occurrence of the reaction
by the condensation pathway, whereas the protic polar
solvent enhances the hydrogenolysis of the C–Cl bond.

with white phosphorus makes it possible to raise their

(2) The catalytic characteristics of the Pd–P/C catalyst
depend not only on the P/Pd ratio and on the temperature
at which the catalytic process is performed, but also on
the nature of a solvent. In the case of reduction of ortho-
chloronitrobenzene in toluene, it is possible to nearly fully
avoid accumulation in the reaction system of undesirable
compounds, ortho-chlorophenylhydroxylamine and its
condensation products. In this case the rate of ortho-
chloroaniline formation is 149 times that of ortho-
chloroaniline hydrogenolysis, and the fraction of aniline
at the 100% conversion of ortho-chloronitrobenzene does
not exceed 1%. The high chemoselectivity of the Pd–P/C
catalyst with respect to ortho-chloroaniline is preserved
in the temperature range 30–80°C.

(3) Polar protic and aprotic solvents differently
affect the chemoselectivity of the Pd–P/C catalyst. In
the basic aprotic solvent (dimethylformamide), the
rate of hydrogenolysis is low, but the basic solvent
accelerates the formation and accumulation of azoxy- and
azochlorobenzenes in the reaction medium. In the protic
solvent, ethanol, the rate of hydrogenolysis of the C–Cl
bond sharply grows. Despite the higher selectivity of the
Pd–P/C catalyst with respect to ortho-chloroaniline in
ethanol at a 99% conversion of ortho-chloronitrobenzene,
because of the smaller contribution of the condensation
pathway, the selectivity of Pd–P/C with respect to
ortho-chloroaniline in ethanol is lower than that in
dimethylformamide at full conversion of not only ortho-
chloronitrobenzene, but also the intermediates.
