General description
Activated charcoal (AC) or activated carbon acts as an adsorbent, which is used to remove a broad spectrum of pollutants in air, water, and soil.[1][2] It can be produced by carbonization of materials like coal and lignocellulosic biomass under an inert atmosphere.[3] AC in combination with palladium is used as a catalyst in the hydrogenation of alkenes, alkynes, ketones, nitriles, imines, nitro groups, aromatic and heteroaromatic systems.[4]
Application
Activated charcoal can be used:
- As a promoter in combination with K2S2O8 for the synthesis of ketones and aldehydes through oxidation of alcohols.[5]
- Along with H2SO4 for the preparation of 3,4-dihydropyrimidin-2-(1H)-ones and its derivatives.[6]
- In combination with NaBH4 for the reduction of nitroarenes to amines.[7]
