Abstract

The catalytic hydrogenation of o-nitrochlorobenzene over nickel was first attempted by Sabatier and Mailhe'who, however, obtained aniline hydrochloride as a result of a combined hydrogenation and dehalogenation. Furthermore, Sa-batier and Espe12 found that small amounts of halogen compounds did not interfere with the vapor ph&e reduction of benzene provided that some nickel remained in catalytically active form after a portion had been ...
