The present invention relates generally to processes for the catalytic hydrogenation of halonitroaromatics. In particular, the present invention includes a process for the catalytic hydrogenation of halonitroaromatics such as 2,5-dichloronitrobenzene to 2,5-dichloroaniline over a platinum-containing catalyst. The invention also relates to a process for producing 3,6-dichloro-2-methoxybenzoic acid. [Selection] Figure 1 |
