| Abstract: | The reduction of nitrochlorobenzenes (NCBs) by aqueous ammonium sulfide to the corresponding
chloroanilines (CANs) was carried out in an organic solvent, toluene, under liquid-liquid mode with phase transfer catalyst, tetrabutylammonium bromide (TBAB). The selectivity of CANs was found
to be 100%. The reaction rate of m-nitrochlorobenzene (MNCB) was found to be highest among the three NCBs followed by o- and p- nitrochlorobenzene (ONCB and PNCB). The reaction was found to be kinetically controlled with apparent activation energies of 22.8, 19.6 and 9.4 kcal/mol
for ONCB, PNCB and MNCB, respectively. The effects of different parameters such as TBAB
concentration, concentration of NCB, sulfide concentration, ammonia concentration, and elemental
sulfur loading on the reaction rate and conversion were studied to establish the mechanism of the
reaction. The rate of reaction of NCBs was found to be proportional to the concentration of catalyst
and NCBs and to the cube of the concentra... |
