General description

We are committed to bringing you Greener Alternative Products, which adhere to one of the four categories of Greener Alternatives. Iron powder is used as a catalyst for the reduction of nitro aromatic compounds to anilines under anaerobic conditions, enabling efficient synthesis of aromatic amines, offering a greener, potentially more sustainable option for pharmaceutical manufacturing.

Application

Iron is generally used as a catalyst for wide variety of organic transformations. It has been used for the synthesis of magnetic polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) for automated microcontact printing of biomolecules.
Iron can also be used:
  • For the removal of arsenate from water.
  • To synthesize Fe(III) iodide catalyst for thioglycosylation of peracetylated saccharides.
  • As a catalyst for the graphitization for microscale radiocarbon analysis of small samples.
  • For the removal of nitroaromatic pesticides by reduction.
