The impact of the presence and amount of [BMIM][NTf2] ionic liquid during the preparation of bulk NiMoS catalysts was investigated. It was clearly shown that these factors have a strong influence on both the morphology and specific surface area of the obtained NiMoS samples. Most interestingly the catalytic activity for the transformation of decanoic acid increased up to three times when IL was present during synthesis. In the same time, a greater selectivity towards hydrocarbons was observed. On the whole a clear relationship between catalytic activity, selectivity and NiMoS morphology was demonstrated. Consequently, it is possible to modify the morphology of the materials and impact the catalytic properties by changing the synthesis conditions.

A new general approach for the one-pot hydroaminomethylation of olefins using methylformate as formylating agent instead of synthesis gas (syngas) has been proposed. Herein we report that a Ru-Rh catalytic system demonstrates high activity in a tandem conversion of a series of n-alkenes into amines using methylformate with yields 58-92% (6 h). The selectivity for the normal amine reached 96% with catalysis by the Ru carbonyl complex Ru3(CO) 12, with an overall yield of 55% with respect to amine in this instance. The addition of the Rh complex to Ru catalytic system, sharply increased the hydroaminomethylation rate of both the terminal and internal alkenes and increased the yield of amines to 82-93% (6-12 h).

Described is a method to make liquid chemicals, such as functional intermediates, solvents, and liquid fuels from biomass-derived cellulose. The method is cascading; the product stream from an upstream reaction can be used as the feedstock in the next downstream reaction. The method includes the steps of deconstructing cellulose to yield a product mixture comprising levulinic acid and formic acid, converting the levulinic acid to γ-valerolactone, and converting the γ-valerolactone to pentanoic acid. Alternatively, the γ-valerolactone can be converted to a mixture of n-butenes. The pentanoic acid so formed can be further reacted to yield a host of valuable products. For example, the pentanoic acid can be decarboxylated yield 1-butene or ketonized to yield 5-nonanone. The 5-nonanone can be hydrodeoxygenated to yield nonane, or 5-nonanone can be reduced to yield 5-nonanol. The 5-nonanol can be dehydrated to yield nonene, which can be dimerized to yield a mixture of C9 and C18 olefins, which can be hydrogenated to yield a mixture of alkanes. Alternatively, the nonene may be isomerized to yield a mixture of branched olefins, which can be hydrogenated to yield a mixture of branched alkanes. The mixture of n-butenes formed from γ-valerolactone can also be subjected to isomerization and oligomerization to yield olefins in the gasoline, jet and Diesel fuel ranges.
