Nitrobenzene → Palladium tetraphenylporphyrin

Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

10 g of nitrobenzene, 0.6 g of tetraphenylporphyrin and 0.1 g of palladium black are placed in the autoclave and the total volume is then brought to 100 ml by means of orthodichlorobenzene. The autoclave is scavenged with nitrogen, then 200 bars of carbon monoxide are introduced. After isolating the reactor and starting the stirring, it is heated at 240° C. for 3 and three-quarter hours, thus limiting voluntarily the progress of the reaction. After cooling analysis shows that the O.C.R. of the nitrobenzene is 33.1%. The complex is purified by operating in the same way as in Example 10. Palladium tetraphenylporphyrin is thus obtained with a yield of 78%.
