- Abstract
2-nitroaniline (2-NA) is highly toxic and environmental contaminant. It is reduced to less toxic and environmental benign product o-phenylenediamine by using different reducing agents like sodium borohydride, potassium borohydride, or hydrazine hydrate in the presence of various catalytic systems. These catalytic systems have various advantages and drawbacks. Silica-supported gold nanoparticles are frequently reported catalyst for the reduction of 2-nitroaniline in aqueous medium. In this review article, different catalytic systems reported for reduction of o-nitroaniline under various reaction conditions have been discussed. The critical review of the recent research progress for development of novel catalysts used for the reduction of 2-nitroaniline has been provided here.
