A key challenge in the production of lignin-derived chemicals is to reduce the energy intensive processes used in their production. Here, we show that well-defined Rh nanoparticles dispersed in sub-micrometer size carbon hollow spheres, are able to hydrogenate lignin derived products under mild conditions (30 °C, 5 bar H2), in water. The optimum catalyst exhibits excellent selectivity and activity in the conversion of phenol to cyclohexanol and other related substrates including aryl ethers.

The reaction of H3SiR (R=Ph, nBu) with cationic η5-C5Me5- (Cp*) and benzo[h]quinolinyl-based iridacycle [1 b]+ gives rise to new [(IrH)→SiRH2]+ adducts. In the presence of THF these adducts readily undergo elimination of H2 gas at subambient temperature to form THF-stabilized metallacyclic IrIII silylene complexes, which were characterized in situ by NMR spectroscopy, trapped in minute amounts by reactive crystallization, and structurally characterized by XRD. Theoretical investigations (static DFT-D reaction-energy profiling, ETS-NOCV) support the promoting role of THF in the H2 elimination step and the consolidation of the Ir-to-Si interaction in the spontaneous (ΔG+/phenylsilane system are relevant catalytic species in the hydrodefluorination of fluoroalkanes.

The reaction of methyl iodide with an anilide anion prepared from 2,4,6-tri-tert-butylanilide and NaH in CH3CN gave N-methyl anilide (N-alkylation product) as a major product, while in the reaction of benzyl bromide with the anilide anion in DMF, O-benzyl imidate (O-alkylation product) was obtained with almost complete selectivity. The treatment of O-benzyl imidate with alcohols and carboxylic acids in the presence of trifluoromethane sulfonic acid gave benzyl ethers and benzyl esters, respectively.
