A convenient and highly selective platinum nanocatalyst was developed for the hydrogenation of nitro aromatics into the corresponding anilines at room temperature under ambient pressure. The platinum catalyst was highly active and selective for the hydrogenation of nitro aromatic compounds. Reducible groups such as aldehyde, ketone and nitrile were untouched during the hydrogenation of the corresponding nitro compounds, and the corresponding anilines were obtained quantitatively.
