In this paper, NiRu, NiRh, and NiPd catalysts were synthesized and evaluated in the hydrogenolysis of lignin C-O bonds, which is proved to be superior over single-component catalysts. The optimized NiRu catalyst contains 85% Ni and 15% Ru, composed of Ni surface-enriched, Ru-Ni atomically mixed, ultrasmall nanoparticles. The Ni85Ru15 catalyst showed high activity under low temperature (100°C), low H2 pressure (1 bar) in β-O-4 type C-O bond hydrogenolysis. It also exhibited significantly higher activity over Ni and Ru catalysts in the direct conversion of lignin into monomeric aromatic chemicals. Mechanistic investigation indicates that the synergistic effect of NiRu can be attributed to three factors: (1) increased fraction of surface atoms (compared with Ni), (2) enhanced H2 and substrate activation (compared with Ni), and (3) inhibited benzene ring hydrogenation (compared with Ru). Similarly, NiRh and NiPd catalysts were more active and selective than their single-component counterparts in the hydrogenolysis of lignin model compounds and real lignin.

Herein, we describe the generation of an organochromium-type carbanion species from a non-activated C-H bond and its nucleophilic addition to aldehydes. The catalytic carbanion generation occurred through formal deprotonation of a non-activated C-H bond under mild conditions and did not need the prefunctionalization or anion stabilizing group. Carbon radical intermediates generated by decatungstate photocatalyst-mediated hydrogen abstraction were captured by a chromium salt with the reductive radical-polar crossover reaction to produce organochromium carbanions.

A highly efficient, stable NiAu catalyst that exhibits unprecedented low temperature activity in lignin hydrogenolysis was for the first time developed, leading to the formation of 14 wt% aromatic monomers from organosolv lignin at 170 °C in pure water. the Partner Organisations 2014.

An enantioselective borane-mediated reduction of a variety of 2-haloketones with 10% spiroaminoborate ester 1 as catalyst is described. By a simple basic workup of 2-halohydrins, optically active epoxides are obtained in high yield and with excellent enantiopurity (up to 99% ee). Ring-opening of oxiranes with phenoxides or sodium azide is investigated under different reaction conditions affording nonracemic 1,2-hydroxy ethers and 1,2-azido alcohols with excellent enantioselectivity (99% ee) and in good to high chemical yield. 2011 American Chemical Society.
