    Preparation of Nickel-on-Charcoal (Ni/C): An Improved Protocol
    (2012-11-20) Bruce H. Lipshutz; Stefan Tasler
    A modified preparation of the inexpensive, heterogeneous precatalyst Ni(II)/C, has been developed which (1) reduces the number of solvent distillations; (2) generates no organic waste; (3) leads to complete impregnation of the Ni(II) salts invested; and (4) extends the number of sources of charcoal which can be used to make the catalyst. Several carbon±carbon, as well as carbon±nitrogen and carbon±hydrogen bond-forming reactions have been run which compare Ni/C prepared via this new protocol with those formed using the original protocol. The results from each are virtually identical
