Multimetallic catalyst and process for preparing substituted aromatic amines

Abstract

A multimetallic catalyst for hydrogenation of substituted nitroaromatic compounds to give the corresponding aromatic amines. By doping iridium with at least one element from the group manganese, cobalt, iron, nickel, copper and ruthenium, a catalyst is obtained which is characterized by high selectivity.
