Abstract

Abstract There is disclosed a process for the reductive alkylation of aromatic nitro-containing compounds with ketones or aldehydes wherein the improvement is characterized in that a specific polymer bound co-catalyst system is utilized. More specifically, a polymer bound anthranilic acid palladium complex is used in conjunction with a bound sulfonic acid resin as a catalyst system in a reaction to produce compounds such as N-phenyl-N'-alkyl-p-phenylenediamine.
