Palladium Nanoparticles on Graphite Oxide (Pd@GO) as an Efficient Catalyst for the Synthesis of Secondary Amines and Aminoisoindolinones

ABSTRACT An efficient tandem one‐pot reductive amination of aldehydes with nitroarenes and the synthesis of aminoisoindolinones are reported using palladium nanoparticles doped on Graphite Oxide (Pd@GO) as a catalyst. The catalyst was prepared and characterized by FT‐IR, TEM, SEM, EDX, and PXRD analysis. The proposed catalytic system has several advantages, such as the facile separation of the catalyst from the reaction mixture, good recyclability, mild reaction conditions, short reaction time, broad substrate scope with good to excellent yield of the products, and easy scalability.
