(Chemical Equation Presented) One for two: [Ru4H 6(p-cymene)4]Cl2 and [RuCl2(p- cymene)]2, [Ru], are efficient catalyst precursors for the selective transformation of cyclic imides into saturated lactams (see scheme). The catalytic systems operate with the same reagent (H2) to perform two transformations, namely, monoreduction of the carbonyl groups and hydrogenation of C=C bonds, with the release only of water, which is the solvent of the reaction.

N-Unsubstituted cyclic imides were readily synthesized in deep eutectic solvent (DES) choline chloride (ChCl)/urea from anhydrides with urea. Urea serves as both a DES component and a nitrogen source, which endows the protocol with advantages of smooth reaction, easy separation of products, simple recovery and recycling of ChCl/urea.

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.
