Ce promoted Cu/γ-Al2O3 catalysts were prepared with varying amounts of Cu (x = 0–10 wt%) and Ce (y = 0–15 wt%). The prepared catalysts were characterized and tested for the conversion of aqueous glucose (5 wt%) to 1,2-propanediol in a batch reactor. 10%Ce-8%Cu/γ-Al2O3 showed the complete conversion of glucose with 62.7% selectivity of 1,2-propanediol and total glycols (1,2-propanediol, ethylene glycol & 1,2-butanediol) of 81% at milder reaction conditions. Cu facilitated the hydrogenation activity and Ce loading optimize the acid/base sites of Cu/γ-Al2O3 which obtain high selectivity of 1, 2-propanediol. Catalyst reusability is reported.

We present herein an unprecedented diastereoconvergent synthesis of vicinal diamines from diols through an economical, redox-neutral process. Under cooperative ruthenium and Lewis acid catalysis, readily available anilines and 1,2-diols (as a mixture of diastereomers) couple to forge two C?N bonds in an efficient and diastereoselective fashion. By identifying an effective chiral iridium/phosphoric acid co-catalyzed procedure, the first enantioconvergent double amination of racemic 1,2-diols has also been achieved, resulting in a practical access to highly valuable enantioenriched vicinal diamines.
Well-defined Cp*Co(III)-catalyzed Hydrogenation of Carbonates and Polycarbonates

We herein report the catalytic hydrogenation of carbonates and polycarbonates into their corresponding diols/alcohols using well-defined, air-stable, high-valent cobalt complexes. Several novel Cp*Co(III) complexes bearing N,O-chelation were isolated for the first time and structurally characterized by various spectroscopic techniques including single crystal X-ray crystallography. These novel Co(III) complexes have shown excellent catalytic activity to produce value added diols/alcohols from carbonate and polycarbonates through hydrogenation using molecular hydrogen as sole reductant or iPrOH as transfer hydrogenation source. To demonstrate the developed methodology's practical applicability, we have recycled the bisphenol A monomer from compact disc (CD) through hydrogenation under the established reaction conditions using phosphine-free, earth-abundant, air- and moisture-stable high-valent cobalt catalysts.
