Palladium Doping of In2O3 towards a general and selective catalytic hydrogenation of amides to amines and alcohols
Abstract: Herein, the first general heterogeneous catalytic protocol for the hydrogenation of primary, secondary and tertiary amides to the corresponding amines and alcohols is described. Advantageously, this catalytic protocol works under additive-free conditions and is compatible with the presence of aromatic rings, which are fully retained in the final products. This hydrogenative C-N bond cleavage methodology is catalyzed by a Pd-doped In2O3 catalyst prepared by a microwave hydrothermal-assisted method followed by calcination. This catalyst displays highly dispersed Pd²⁺ ionic species into the oxide matrix of In2O3 that have resulted to be essential for its high catalytic performance
