Abstract

An improved process for the preparation of nitrosobenzene by the catalytic reduction of nitrosobenzene is disclosed. The improvement in the process comprises utilizing as a reducing agent a compound selected from the group consisting of aliphatic compounds containing from about one to about twenty carbon atoms, benzene, naphthalene and ethylenically unsaturated compounds containing from about two to about 10 carbon atoms.
