A Ni–Mg–Al layered triple hydroxide-supported Pd catalyst for heterogeneous acceptorless dehydrogenative aromatization†
Abstract
In the presence of a Ni–Mg–Al layered triple hydroxide-supported Pd catalyst, the acceptorless dehydrogenative aromatization of a wide range of cyclohexanols/cyclohexanones and cyclohexylamines efficiently proceeded to give the corresponding phenols and anilines, respectively, in moderate to high yields with the liberation of molecular hydrogen.
