Abstract
Catalytic hydrogenations are important and widely applied processes for the reduction of organic compounds both in academic laboratories and in industry. To perform these reactions in sustainable and practical manner, the development and applicability of non-noble metal-based heterogeneous catalysts is crucial. Here, we report highly active and air-stable nickel nanoparticles supported on mesoporous silica (MCM-41) as a general and selective hydrogenation catalyst. This catalytic system allows for the hydrogenation of carbonyl compounds, nitroarenes, N-heterocycles, and unsaturated carbon─carbon bonds in good to excellent selectivity under very mild conditions (room temperature to 80°C, 2 to 10 bar H2). Furthermore, the optimal nickel/meso-silicon dioxide catalyst is reusable (4 cycles) without loss of its catalytic activity.

Abstract
Catalytic reduction reactions using methanol as a transfer hydrogenating agent is gaining significant attention because this simple alcohol is inexpensive and produced on a bulk scale. Herein, we report the catalytic utilization of methanol as a hydrogen source for the reduction of different functional organic compounds such as nitroarenes, olefins, and carbonyl compounds. The key to the success of this transformation is the use of a commercially available Pt/C catalyst, which enabled the transfer hydrogenation of a series of simple and functionalized nitroarenes-to-anilines, alkenes-to-alkanes, and aldehydes-to-alcohols using methanol as both the solvent and hydrogen donor. The practicability of this Pt-based protocol is showcased by demonstrating catalyst recycling and reusability as well as reaction upscaling. In addition, the Pt/C catalytic system was also adaptable for the N-methylation and N-alkylation of anilines via the borrowing hydrogen process. This work provides a simple and flexible approach to prepare a variety of value-added products from readily available methanol, Pt/C, and other starting materials.
