Abstract

Read online

The practical application of single atom catalyst (SAC) in liquid-phase heterogeneous catalysis is hampered by the productivity bottleneck as well as catalyst leaching. Here, a bench-top, fast-flow reactor integrated with Pt1-MoS2 SAC was fabricated for continuous production of multifunctional anilines (28 examples) at a record productivity of 5.8 g h-1.
