Alcohols have a wide range of applicability, and their functions vary with the carbon numbers. C6 and C4 alditols are alternative of sweetener, as well as significant pharmaceutical and chemical intermediates, which are mainly obtained through the fermentation of microorganism currently. Similarly, as a bulk chemical, C2 alditol plays a decisive role in chemical synthesis. However, among them, few works have been focused on the chemical production of C4 alditol yet due to its difficult accumulation. In this paper, under a static and semi-flowing procedure, we have achieved the product control during the conversion of C6 aldose toward C6 alditol, C4 alditol and C2 alditol, respectively. About C4 alditol yield of 20 % and C4 plus C6 alditols yield of 60 % are acquired in the one-pot conversion via a cascade retro-aldol condensation and hydrogenation process. Furthermore, in the semi-flowing condition, the yield of ethylene glycol is up to 73 % thanks to its low instantaneous concentration.

The hydrogenolysis of sorbitol and various C5-C3 polyols (xylitol; erythritol; 1,2- 1,4- and 2,3-butandiol; 1,2-propandiol; glycerol) have been investigated at low molecular hydrogen pressure (5 bar) by using Pd/Fe3O4, as heterogeneous catalyst and water as the reaction medium. Catalytic experiments show that the carbon chain of polyols is initially shortened through dehydrogenation/decarbonylation and dehydrogenation/retro-aldol mechanisms followed by a series of cascade reactions that include dehydrogenation/decarbonylation and dehydration/hydrogenation processes. At 240 °C, sorbitol is fully converted into lower alcohols with ethanol being the main reaction product in liquid phase.
Effect of tungsten surface density of WO3-ZrO2 on its catalytic performance in hydrogenolysis of cellulose to ethylene glycol

, p. 8567 - 8574 (2017/02/10)
One-pot hydrogenolysis of cellulose to ethylene glycol (EG) was carried out on WO3-based catalysts combined with Ru/C. To probe the active catalytic site for breaking the C-C bond of cellulose, a series of WO3-ZrO2 (WZr) catalysts were synthesized and systematically characterized with XRD, Raman, UV-Vis, H2-TPR, DRIFS and XPS techniques and N2 physisorption experiment. It was found that the WO3 crystallites became more easily reduced to W5+-OH species with increasing crystallite size or tungsten surface density of the WZr catalyst owing to the decrease of their absorption edge energy (AEE) originating from weakening their interaction with ZrO2 support. This, as a result, gave higher EG yield at higher tungsten surface density. The structure-activity relationship of the WZr catalyst reveals that the active catalytic site for cleaving the C2-C3 bond of the glucose molecule is the W5+-OH species.

Kinetic insight into the effect of the catalytic functions on selective conversion of cellulose to polyols on carbon-supported WO3 and Ru catalysts
Liu, Yue,Liu, Haichao
, p. 74 - 81 (2016/05/10)
Efficient conversion of cellulose, the most abundant biomass on Earth, to chemicals in high yields remains a formidable challenge. Here, we report the marked change in the distribution of polyol products in the cellulose reaction on Ru/C and WO3/C, strongly depending on the competitive reactions of the glucose intermediate. WO3 crystallites not only promote, as a solid acid, the efficient hydrolysis of cellulose to glucose, but also catalyze the selective cleavage of the C-C bonds in glucose and other C6 sugar intermediates, leading to the formation of ethylene glycol and propylene glycol, in competition with the sugar hydrogenation to the corresponding C6 polyols (e.g. sorbitol) on Ru/C. The basic C support, behaving similar to other solid bases (i.e. MgO), catalyzes the isomerization of glucose into fructose, leading to the favored formation of propylene glycol instead of ethylene glycol. Such strong dependence of the product distribution on the catalytic functions is clarified by the kinetic analysis of the three competitive reactions of glucose, including its hydrogenation, isomerization and C-C bond cleavage. Importantly, such kinetic analysis can predict the maximum selectivity ratio of propylene glycol to ethylene glycol, which is 2.5, for example, at 478 K under the reaction conditions in this work, corresponding to a maximum yield of propylene glycol of ～71%. These understandings shed new insights into the selective conversion of cellulose, which provides guidance for the rational design of catalyst functions and tuning of reaction parameters towards the controllable synthesis of specific products from cellulose.

Unravelling the Ru-Catalyzed Hydrogenolysis of Biomass-Based Polyols under Neutral and Acidic Conditions
Hausoul, Peter J. C.,Negahdar, Leila,Schute, Kai,Palkovits, Regina
, p. 3323 - 3330 (2015/10/19)
The aqueous Ru/C-catalyzed hydrogenolysis of biomass-based polyols such as erythritol, xylitol, sorbitol, and cellobitol is studied under neutral and acidic conditions. For the first time, the complete product spectrum of C2-C6 polyols is identified and, based on a thorough analysis of the reaction mixtures, a comprehensive reaction mechanism is proposed, which consists of (de)hydrogenation, epimerization, decarbonylation, and deoxygenation reactions. The data reveal that the Ru-catalyzed deoxygenation reaction is highly selective for the cleavage of terminal hydroxyl groups. Changing from neutral to acidic conditions suppresses decarbonylation, consequently increasing the selectivity towards deoxygenation.
Conversion of glucose and sorbitol in the presence of Ru/C and Pt/C catalysts
Tronci, Stefania,Pittau, Barbara
, p. 23086 - 23093 (2015/06/02)
The conversion of glucose and sorbitol in the presence of Ru and Pt catalysts supported on carbon was carried out at different pressure and temperature conditions, using a batch and a semi-batch reactor. Attempts were made to improve the selectivity of glycols and alcohols (ethanol), introducing a promoter and inhibiter of the hydrogenolysis in the reactant mixture. On the basis of these results, which confirm the higher activity of Ru with respect to Pt, and the important role of an inhibitor like sulphur, the mechanism driving these reactions and the promising thermocatalytic conditions are clearer.
