The hydrodeoxygenation (HDO) activity of anisole has been investigated over Ni catalysts on mixed metal oxide supports containing Nb–Zr and Ti–Zr in 1:1 and 1:4 ratios. XRD patterns indicate the incorporation of Ti (or Nb) into the ZrO2 framewo

Catalytic activation of unstrained and nonpolar C-C bonds remains a largely unmet challenge. Here, we describe our detailed efforts in developing a rhodium-catalyzed hydrogenolysis of unstrained C(aryl)-C(alkyl) bonds in 2,2′-methylenediphenols aided by removable directing groups. Good yields of the monophenol products are obtained with tolerating a wide range of functional groups. In addition, the reaction is scalable, and the catalyst loading can be reduced to as low as 0.5 mol %. Moreover, this method proves to be effective to cleave C(aryl)-C(alkyl) linkages in both models of phenolic resins and commercial novolacs resins. Finally, detailed experimental and computational mechanistic studies show that with C-H activation being a competitive but reversible off-cycle reaction, this transformation goes through a directed C(aryl)-C(alkyl) oxidative addition pathway.

Hydrogenolysis of lignin to obtain value-added phenolic chemicals is an important approach for its comprehensive utilization. Herein, H4Nb2O7modified MoS2catalyst with short slabs and narrow stacking degree was successfully synthesized by the one step hydrothermal method and used in the selective demethylation of anisole to phenol. The MoS2-H4Nb2O7-160 catalyst exhibited the best activity with 97.7% conversion of anisole and 98.0% selectivity of phenol under 3 MPa H2pressure at 270 °C for 4 h, which has been rarely reported on anisole transformation over heterogeneous catalysts so far. The characterizations results demonstrated that the H4Nb2O7modification reduced the slab length and stacking degree of MoS2during the hydrothermal process and enhanced the acidity property therefore improved the cleavage ability of CArO-CH3bond. This study provides a new scheme for the activity enhancement of MoS2in lignin demethylation, laying a foundation on the improvement of lignin utilization and the development of renewable energy strategy.
