Abstract

A series of Ru/C catalysts were prepared by impregnation method using the porous carbon materials as support which was prepared by soft template method. The catalysts were used in the one-pot synthesis of N-benzalaniline from nitrobenzene (NB) and benzyl alcohol. The catalysts were characterized by XRD, SEM and TEM. The effect of Ru loading on the catalytic performance of Ru/C was studied, and the reaction conditions were optimized. The results showed that the Ru/C catalyst with 5.0wt% Ru loading exhibited the highest catalytic performance. Under the optimal reaction conditions, the N-benzalaniline selectivity reached 94.1%with 100%conversation of nitrobenzene after reaction 22 h.
