| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In the present work, solid catalysts for organic transformations have been developed using metal oxide supports with characteristic properties. Titania-supported iridium catalysts showed excellent activities for the dehydrogenative synthesis of benzimidazoles from primary alcohols and phenylenediamine derivatives under mild reaction conditions. With our catalysts, benzimidazole derivatives were selectively produced at 120 oC or lower temperatures, while the reactions with conventional ruthenium complex catalysts require a higher temperature, 200 oC. Highly-dispersed iridium nanoparticles (< 2 nm) formed on the surface of metal oxide supports are considered to be responsible for the excellent activity. In addition, hexagonal modified REFeO3 has been successfully prepared by a solvothermal method.
