Zhang, Yifeng,Fan, Guoli,Yang, Lan,Li, Feng
, p. 117 - 126 (2018)
Currently, biomass transformation to produce high value-added chemicals and liquid biofuels is attracting more and more interest by the virtue of its importance in the sustainable development of human society. Herein, we reported the conversion of furfural (FFA) into cyclopentanone (CPO) in water over high performing and stable Cu/ZrO2 catalysts prepared by our developed one-pot reduction-oxidation method. It was demonstrated that surface structures and catalytic performances of catalysts could be delicately adjusted by varying the calcination temperatures for catalyst precursors. Especially, an appropriate calcination temperature of 500 °C could significantly enhance the interactions between surface Cu species and the ZrO2 support, thus greatly facilitating the formation of Cu+-O-Zr-like structure at the metal-support interface, and the resulting Cu/ZrO2 catalyst showed a superior catalytic performance with a high CPO yield of 91.3% under mild reaction conditions (i.e. a low hydrogen pressure of 1.5 MPa and 150 °C) to other metal oxides supported copper catalysts prepared by the conventional impregnation. It was revealed that in addition to surface acidic sites, surface Cu+/(Cu°+Cu+) ratio also played a key role in promoting the formation of CPO in the present Cu/ZrO2 catalytic system.

Abbasov,Alimardanov, Kh. M.,Abbaszade,Guseinova,Azimli
, p. 603 - 607 (2019)
Abstract: Conditions for the condensation of cyclopentanone and n-valeric aldehyde to 2-pentylidenecyclopentanone in the presence of an alcoholic solution of piperidine have been developed. The isomerization of the latter in a continuous-flow system over γ-Al2O3 yields 2-pentylcyclopent-2-en-1-one. The condensation of the obtained unsaturated ketones with ethane-1,2-diol in the presence of a heterogeneous catalyst, a natural aluminosilicate (perlite) modified with zirconyl sulfate, has been studied. The optimum conditions for the preparation of the corresponding unsaturated spiroacetals have been found. The synthesized compounds can be used as synthetic fragrances for different purposes.

Bis(trimethylsilyl) chromate transforms oximes of not only ketones but also aldehydes and 1,2-diketones to the corresponding carbonyl compounds, in high yields.
Mild homogeneous oxidation and hydrocarboxylation of cycloalkanes catalyzed by novel dicopper(II) aminoalcohol-driven cores
Fernandes, Tiago A.,André, Vania,Kirillov, Alexander M.,Kirillova, Marina V.
, p. 357 - 367 (2017)
N-benzylethanolamine (Hbea) and triisopropanolamine (H3tipa) were applied as unexplored aminoalcohol N,O-building blocks for the self-assembly generation of two novel dicopper(II) compounds, [Cu2(μ-bea)2(Hbea)2](NO3)2 (1) and [Cu2(H3tipa)2(μ-pma)]·7H2O (2) {H4pma = pyromellitic acid}. These were isolated as stable and aqua-soluble microcrystalline products and were fully characterized by IR spectroscopy, ESI–MS(±), and single-crystal X-ray diffraction, the latter revealing distinct Cu2 cores containing the five-coordinate copper(II) centers with the {CuN2O3} or {CuNO4} environments. Compounds 1 and 2 were used as homogeneous catalysts for the mild oxidation of C5–C8 cycloalkanes to give the corresponding cyclic alcohols and ketones in up to 23% overall yields based on cycloalkane. The reactions proceed in aqueous acetonitrile medium at 50 °C using H2O2 as an oxidant. The effects of different reaction conditions were studied, including the type and loading of catalyst, amount and kind of acid promoter, and water concentration. Despite the fact that different acids (HNO3, H2SO4, HCl, or CF3COOH) promote the oxidation of alkanes, the reaction is exceptionally fast in the presence of a catalytic amount of HCl, resulting in the TOF values of up to 430 h?1. Although water typically strongly inhibits alkane oxidations due to the reduction of H2O2 concentration and lowering of the alkane solubility, in the systems comprising 1 and 2 we observed a significant growth (up to 5-fold) of an initial reaction rate in the cyclohexane oxidation on increasing the amount of H2O in the reaction mixture. The bond-, regio- and stereo-selectivity parameters were investigated in oxidation of different linear, branched, and cyclic alkane substrates. Both compounds 1 and 2 also catalyze the hydrocarboxylation of C5–C8 cycloalkanes, by CO, K2S2O8, and H2O in a water/acetonitrile medium at 60 °C, to give the corresponding cycloalkanecarboxylic acids in up to 38% yields based on cycloalkanes.

, p. 731 - 736 (2021)
Hydrogenolysis of the furan rings of furfural and furfuryl alcohol, which can be obtained from biomass, has attracted attention as a method for obtaining valuable chemicals such as 1,2-pentanediol. In this study, we examined the hydrogenolysis of furfuryl alcohol to 1,2-pentanediol over Pd/C, Pt/C, Rh/C, and various supported Ru catalysts in several solvents. In particular, we investigated the effects of combinations of solvents and supports on the reaction outcome. Of all the tested combinations, Ru/MgO in water gave the best selectivity for 1,2-pentanediol: with this catalyst, 42 % selectivity for 1,2-pentanediol was achieved upon hydrogenolysis of furfuryl alcohol for 1 h at 463 K. In contrast, reaction in water in the presence of Ru/Al2O3 afforded cyclopentanone and cyclopentanol by means of hydrogenation and rearrangement reactions.
Highly selective hydrogenation of furfural to tetrahydrofurfuryl alcohol over MIL-101(Cr)-NH2 supported Pd catalyst at low temperature
Yin, Dongdong,Ren, Hangxing,Li, Chuang,Liu, Jinxuan,Liang, Changhai
, p. 319 - 326 (2018)
An efficient heterogeneous catalyst, Pd@MIL-101(Cr)-NH2, is prepared through a direct pathway of anionic exchange followed by hydrogen reduction with amino-containing MIL-101 as the host matrix. The composite is thermally stable up to 350 °C and the Pd nanoparticles uniformly disperse on the matal organic framework (MOF) support, which are attributed to the presence of the amino groups in the frameworks of MIL-101(Cr)-NH2. The selective hydrogenation of biomass-based furfural to tetrahydrofurfuryl alcohol is investigated by using this multifunctional catalyst Pd@MIL-101(Cr)-NH2 in water media. A complete hydrogenation of furfural is achieved at a low temperature of 40 °C with the selectivity of tetrahydrofurfuryl alcohol close to 100%. The amine-functionalized MOF improves the hydrogen bonding interactions between the intermediate furfuryl alcohol and the support, which is conducive for the further hydrogenation of furfuryl alcohol to tetrahydrofurfuryl alcohol in good coordination with the metal sites.
Catalytic hydrogenation of furfural to tetrahydrofurfuryl alcohol using competitive nickel catalysts supported on mesoporous clays
Sunyol,English Owen,González,Salagre,Cesteros
, (2021)
Nickel catalysts supported on mesoporous clays with different acid properties, such as montmorillonite MK-10, Al-pillared montmorillonite, mesoporous Na-saponite and mesoporous H-saponite, were prepared, characterized and tested for the hydrogenation of furfural to tetrahydrofurfuryl alcohol (THFA). Clays were also modified introducing basicity through magnesium oxide in different amounts. Catalysts with higher acidity or low amounts of metallic centres favoured deactivation and/or selectivity to the non-desired products. Interestingly, the addition of MgO both neutralized the acidity of the montmorillonite supports and improved the hydrogenation of the furanic ring, resulting in higher selectivity to THFA. The best catalyst was the one prepared with montmorillonite MK-10 covered by 30 wt% of magnesium oxide and with 8.8 % of the Ni metal phase achieving total conversion and total selectivity to THFA. The activity of this catalyst was maintained after several reuses.

An easy-to-prepare ruthenium catalyst obtained from ruthenium(III) trichloride in water demonstrates efficient performances in the oxidation of several cycloalkanes with high selectivity toward the ketone. In this work, several physicochemical techniques were used to demonstrate the real nature of the ruthenium salt still unknown in water and to define the active species for this Csp3-H bond functionalization. From transmission electron microscopy analyses corroborated by SAXS analyses, spherical nanoobjects were observed with an average diameter of 1.75 nm, thus being in favor of the formation of reduced species. However, further investigations, based on X-ray scattering and absorption analyses, showed no evidence of the presence of a metallic Ru-Ru bond, proof of zerovalent nanoparticles, but the existence of Ru-O and Ru-Cl bonds, and thus the formation of a water-soluble complex. The EXAFS (extended X-ray absorption fine structure) spectra revealed the presence of an oxygen-bridged diruthenium complex [Ru(OH)xCl3-x]2(μ-O) with a high oxidation state in agreement with catalytic results. This study constitutes a significant advance to determine the true nature of the RuCl3·3H2O salt in water and proves once again the invasive nature of the electron beam in microscopy experiments, routinely used in nanochemistry.
Simultaneous Upgrading of Furanics and Phenolics through Hydroxyalkylation/Aldol Condensation Reactions
Bui, Tuong V.,Sooknoi, Tawan,Resasco, Daniel E.
, p. 1631 - 1639 (2017)
The simultaneous conversion of cyclopentanone and m-cresol has been investigated on a series of solid-acid catalysts. Both compounds are representative of biomass-derived streams. Cyclopentanone can be readily obtained from sugar-derived furfurals through Piancatelli rearrangement under reducing conditions. Cresol represents a family of phenolic compounds, typically obtained from the depolymerization of lignin. In the first biomass conversion strategy proposed here, furfural is converted in high yields and selectivity to cyclopentanone (CPO) over metal catalysts such as Pd-Fe/SiO2 at 600 psi (～4.14 MPa) H2 and 150 °C. Subsequently, CPO and cresol are further converted through acid-catalyzed hydroxyalkylation. This C?C coupling reaction may be used to generate products in the molecular weight range that is appropriate for transportation fuels. As molecules beyond this range may be undesirable for fuel production, a catalyst with a suitable porous structure may be advantageous for controlling the product distribution in the desirable range. If Amberlyst resins were used as a catalyst, C12–C24 products were obtained whereas when zeolites with smaller pore sizes were used, they selectively produced C10 products. Alternatively, CPO can undergo the acid-catalyzed self-aldol condensation to form C10 bicyclic adducts. As an illustration of the potential for practical implementation of this strategy for biofuel production, the long-chain oxygenates obtained from hydroxyalkylation/aldol condensation were successfully upgraded through hydrodeoxygenation to a mixture of linear alkanes and saturated cyclic hydrocarbons, which in practice would be direct drop-in components for transportation fuels. Aqueous acidic environments, which are typically encountered during the liquid-phase upgrading of bio-oils, would inhibit the efficiency of base-catalyzed processes. Therefore, the proposed acid-catalyzed upgrading strategy is advantageous for biomass conversion in terms of process simplicity.
Effect of Ni Metal Content on Emulsifying Properties of Ni/CNTox Catalysts for Catalytic Conversion of Furfural in Pickering Emulsions
Herrera,Pinto-Neira,Fuentealba,Sepúlveda,Rosenkranz,García-Fierro,González,Escalona
, p. 682 - 694 (2021)
Ni/CNTox catalysts with variable metal content have been prepared to investigate their emulsifying and catalytic properties for the liquid-phase conversion of furfural. The solid catalysts and emulsions were analyzed by several characterization techniques. The catalytic activity linearly increased with increasing Ni content (up to 10 wt.%) before dropping down again for a Ni content of 15 wt.%. The loss of catalytic activity was attributed to larger emulsion droplets formed by the inhibition of hydrophilic sites. All Ni/CNTox catalysts were highly selective to cyclopentanone as a main product, while several changes regarding secondary products were observed. Ni/CNTox catalysts with a Ni content up to 10 wt.% favor the formation of levulinic acid, while catalysts with a Ni content of 15 wt.% were selective to tetrahydrofurfuryl alcohol. This was attributed to an inhibition of the acid sites thus favoring the catalyst's hydrogenation capacity.

Kishi, Arata,Higashino, Takashi,Sakaguchi, Satoshi,Ishii, Yasutaka
, p. 99 - 102 (2000)
Wacker-type oxidation of cyclopentene to cyclopentanone under dioxygen atmosphere was successfully achieved by the use of Pd(OAc)2 and molybdovanadophosphate supported on activated carbon, [Pd(OAc)2-NPMoV/C], catalyst. Thus, the reaction of cyclopentene under O2 (1 atm) in aqueous acetonitrile acidified by CH3SO3H in the presence of [Pd(OAc)2-NPMoV/C] at 50°C produced cyclopentanone in 85% yield along with a small amount of cyclopentenone (1%).

Liu, Wei-Wei,Feng, Yi-Si,Wang, Guang-Yu,Jiang, Wei-Wei,Xu, Hua-Jian
, p. 905 - 909 (2016)
In this work, Pd-Cu/γ-Al2O3 is prepared by the impregnation method and investigated for selective oxygenization of cyclopentene to cyclopentanone. A series of bimetallic Pd-Cu/γ-Al2O3 nanocatalysts were prepared and the structures characterized by XRD, XPS and TEM. We determined that the obtained Pd-Cu/γ-Al2O3 (molar ratio Pd:Cu = 5:1) was an efficient catalyst for the oxygenization of cyclopentene to cyclopentanone with >95% selectivity and >85% conversion (100 °C, 1 MPa initial O2 pressure, 7 h).

Jackson, Michael A.,Blackburn, Judith A.,Price, Neil P.J.,Vermillion, Karl E.,Peterson, Steven C.,Ferrence, Gregory M.
, p. 9 - 16 (2016)
In an effort to expand the number of biobased chemicals available from sugars, xylose has been converted to 1,6,9,13-tetraoxadispiro(4.2.4.2)tetradecane in a one-pot reaction using palladium supported on silica-alumina as the catalyst. The title compound is produced in 35-40% yield under 7 MPa H2 pressure at 733 K using 3-10 wt%Pd on silica-alumina catalyst. It is isolated using a combination of liquid-liquid extractions and flash chromatography. This dimer can be converted to its monomer, 2-hydroxy-(2-hydroxymethyl)tetrahydrofuran, which ring opens under acid conditions to 1,5-dihydroxy-2-pentanone. This diol can then be esterified with vinylacetate in phosphate buffer to produce 1,5-bis(acetyloxy)-2-pentanone which is an inhibitor of mammalian 11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase 1. 1H and 13C nmr spectra of each of these species are reported. The single crystal X-ray structure of the title compound is also reported. These data were collected in a temperature range of 100 K-273 K and show a solid state phase change from triclinic to monoclinic between 175 K and 220 K without a conformational change.

Yang, Yanliang,Ma, Jiping,Jia, Xiuquan,Du, Zhongtian,Duan, Ying,Xu, Jie
, p. 51221 - 51228 (2016)
Al2O3 modified by alkaline earth metals M-Al2O3 (M = Mg, Ca, Sr, Ba) was synthesised by coprecipitation method. The nickel-based catalysts supported by M-Al2O3 were prepared by impregnation method. The catalysts were characterized by TEM, N2 adsorption/desorption, XRD, H2-TPR, NH3-TPD and XPS, and used for the direct hydrogenation of furfural to tetrahydrofurfuryl alcohol (THFA) in water. The reaction was demonstrated to proceed through furfuryl alcohol as an intermediate. The modification of Al2O3 by alkaline earth metals has a significant effect on the activity and selectivity of THFA. A high yield of THFA was obtained over Ni/Ba-Al2O3 under optimized conditions. Moreover, the catalyst is recyclable and reusable at least four times without significant loss of the conversion of furfural and selectivity of THFA.
Synthesis of azasilacyclopentenes and silanols: Via Huisgen cycloaddition-initiated C-H bond insertion cascades
Shih, Jiun-Le,Jansone-Popova, Santa,Huynh, Christopher,May, Jeremy A.
, p. 7132 - 7137 (2017)
An unusual transition metal-free cascade reaction of alkynyl carbonazidates was discovered to form azasilacyclopentenes. Mild thermolysis afforded the products via a series of cyclizations, rearrangements, and an α-silyl C-H bond insertion (rather than the more common Wolff rearrangement, 1,2-shift, or β-silyl C-H insertion) to form silacyclopropanes. A mechanistic proposal for the sequence was informed by control experiments and the characterization of reaction intermediates. The substrate scope and post-cascade transformations were also explored.

Hydrogenative Ring-Rearrangement of Biobased Furanic Aldehydes to Cyclopentanone Compounds over Pd/Pyrochlore by Introducing Oxygen Vacancies
Deng, Qiang,Deng, Shuguang,Gao, Rui,Li, Xiang,Wang, Jun,Zeng, Zheling,Zou, Ji-Jun
, p. 7355 - 7366 (2020)
Upgrading furanic aldehydes (such as furfural or 5-hydroxymethyl furfural) to cyclopentanone compounds (such as cyclopentanone or 3-hydroxymethyl cyclopentanone) is of great significance for the synthesis of high-value chemicals and biomass utilization. Developing an efficient reduced metal/acidic support with Lewis acidity is the key to facilitating the carbonyl hydrogenation and hydrolysis steps in the hydrogenative ring-rearrangement reaction. Herein, three pure Lewis acidic pyrochlore supports of the form A2B2O7 (La2Sn2O7, Y2Sn2O7, and Y2(Sn0.7Ce0.3)2O7-δ) with the same crystal structures and different metals are synthesized. The Lewis acidity and the surface properties of the pyrochlore can be tuned by inserting different kinds of A and B site metals. After impregnation, Pd nanoparticles with appropriate particle sizes are uniformly loaded on the surface of pyrochlore. For the reaction of the furanic aldehydes, all of these pyrochlore-based catalysts exhibit hydrogenation and hydrolysis rates that are both faster than those of traditional support-based catalysts due to the oxygen vacancy and pure Lewis acidity of the support. Among these pyrochlore-based catalysts, Pd/Y2Sn2O7 exhibits activity and selectivity that are higher than those of Pd/La2Sn2O7. Moreover, the Y2Sn2O7-based catalyst partially substituted by Ce3+ ions at the B site is more efficient, with the highest cyclopentanone yield and 3-hydroxymethyl cyclopentanone yield of 95.0percent and 92.5percent, respectively. Furthermore, the catalyst can still maintain an effective activity and stability after 4 runs. This study not only presents an efficient biobased route for the production of cyclopentanone compounds but also focuses on the acid catalytic performance of pyrochlore based on its pure Lewis acidity.

, p. 37993 - 38001 (2018)
The bio-based platform molecule furfural was converted to the high value chemical cyclopentanone over Ru/C (0.5?wt%) and Al11.6PO23.7 catalysts in good yield (84%) with water as the medium. After screening the reaction conditions, the selectivity for cyclopentanone and cyclopentanol could be controlled by adjusting the hydrogen pressure at the temperature of 433 K. Herein, we propose a new mechanism for the synergistic catalysis of a Bronsted acid and Lewis acid for the conversion of furfural to cyclopentanone through the cyclopentenone route, which is catalyzed by Ru/C and Al11.6PO23.7. In addition, based on cyclopentanone, higher octane number cyclic alkanes (>85% selectivity), which are used as hydrocarbon fuels, were synthesized via a C-C coupling reaction followed by hydrodeoxygenation.

Two novel coordinatively unsaturated SiO2-supported Ru complexes were prepared by photoinduced ligand elimination, accompanied by dissociative coordination of a surface OH group to the unsaturated Ru center by photoirradiation. Wavelength- and atmosphere-dependent photoinduced reversible interconversion occurs between the two Ru complexes. One of the complexes is catalytically active for the photooxidation of cycloalkanes with O2.
An efficient method for the catalytic aerobic oxidation of cycloalkanes using 3,4,5,6-Tetrafluoro-N-Hydroxyphthalimide (F4-NHPI)
Guha, Samar K.,Ishii, Yasutaka
, p. 327 - 335 (2021/12/13)
N-Hydroxyphthalimide (NHPI) is known to be an effective catalyst for the oxidation of hydrocarbons. The catalytic activity of NHPI derivatives is generally increased by introducing an electron-withdrawing group on the benzene ring. In a previous report, two NHPI derivatives containing fluorinated alkyl chain were prepared and their catalytic activity was investigated in the oxidation of cycloalkanes. It was found that the fluorinated NHPI derivatives showed better yields for the oxidation reaction. As a continuation of our work with fluorinated NHPI derivatives, our next aim was to investigate the catalytic activity of the NHPI derivatives by introducing fluorine atoms in the benzene ring of NHPI. In the present research, 3,4,5,6-Tetrafluoro-N-Hydroxyphthalimide (F4-NHPI) is prepared and its catalytic activity has been investigated in the oxidation of two different cycloalkanes for the first time. It has been found that F4-NHPI showed higher catalytic efficiency compared with that of the parent NHPI catalyst in the present reactions. The presence of a fluorinated solvent and an additive was also found to accelerate the oxidation.

Chromium-Catalyzed Production of Diols From Olefins
-
Paragraph 0111, (2021/03/19)
Processes for converting an olefin reactant into a diol compound are disclosed, and these processes include the steps of contacting the olefin reactant and a supported chromium catalyst comprising chromium in a hexavalent oxidation state to reduce at least a portion of the supported chromium catalyst to form a reduced chromium catalyst, and hydrolyzing the reduced chromium catalyst to form a reaction product comprising the diol compound. While being contacted, the olefin reactant and the supported chromium catalyst can be irradiated with a light beam at a wavelength in the UV-visible spectrum. Optionally, these processes can further comprise a step of calcining at least a portion of the reduced chromium catalyst to regenerate the supported chromium catalyst.
