Liquid phase hydrogenation of nitriles is an important method for the production of amines, which find a variety of applications as intermediates in chemical and pharmaceutical industry. In the present work, a highly efficient Pd@mpg-C3N4 catalytic system has been developed for chemoselective reduction of nitriles providing good to excellent conversion with remarkable chemoselectivity (up to 99%) without additives. Compared with homogeneous catalyst systems, the developed protocol is more advantageous due to the use of ambient hydrogen, solvent free and effective catalyst recyclability.
