Oxidation of various carbohydrates into ammonium formate was investigated in the presence of hydrogen peroxide and ammonium hydroxide. Most of the examined carbohydrates except nonreducing sugars were efficiently converted into ammonium formate under envi

A sustainable economy is needed to recycle carbon rather than to irreversibly use stored carbon in fossil fuels. Instead of releasing CO2 into the atmosphere, its value can be recognized as a base C1 material for chemicals. In this study, a new CO2 utilization strategy is developed via the hydrogenation of CO2 derived ammonium carbamates/carbonates, which are the intermediates in industrial urea production or carbon capture processes, to produce value-added formate chemicals. A high yield of formate, ~92%, was achieved after hydrogenating ammonium carbamates in the ethanol-water solution at room temperature with the carbon supported palladium nano-catalyst. The ethyl carbonate ions in the ammonium carbamate/carbonate solutions were speciated by 13C NMR and were attributed to the superior hydrogenation efficiency. Ammonium ions promote the formation of ethyl carbonate ions in the presence of ethanol. The solvent affects the distribution of the reactive intermediates.

We report the first example of zinc-catalyzed cyanation of aryl iodides with formamide as the cyanogen source. The transformation was promoted by the bisphosphine Nixantphos ligand. Under optimized conditions, a variety of electron-donating and electron-withdrawing aryl iodides were converted into nitrile products in good to excellent yields. This approach is an exceedingly simple and benign method for the synthesis of aryl nitriles and is likely to proceed via a dinuclear Zn-concerted catalysis.

An efficient unsupported nanoporous nickel (NiNPore) material for the hydrogenation of carbonates to formic acid (FA) in water was investigated for the first time. NiNPore is an environmentally benign catalyst and it exhibited remarkable catalytic activity in the reduction of a wide range of carbonates to afford formic acid in excellent yields with high selectivity, and maximum values of 86.6% from NaHCO3 and even up to 92.1% from KHCO3 were obtained. The hydrogen pressure and pKa of the carbonates had a significant influence on the formation of FA. The catalyst was easily recovered and could be recycled at least five times without leaching and loss of activity. The present study demonstrated a potential application for the synthesis of FA from CO2 or carbonate compounds.
