The harsh reaction conditions for the valorization of lignin-derived phenolic compounds considerably limit the efficient utilization of the lignin derivatives. Here, we put forward a high efficient and selective hydrogenation process for phenolic compounds at a mild condition over step by step precipitated Ni/SiO2 catalyst. The properties of the Ni/SiO2 catalysts by different preparation methods were detailedly compared using various characterization measurements. Catalytic activity of the catalysts was tested by the hydrogenation of guaiacol, and the results showed that guaiacol could be completely converted into cyclohexanol with 99.9% selectivity at 120 °C, 2 MPa H2 atmosphere for 2 h. Other typical lignin-derived phenolic compounds also had excellent hydrogenation performance and great energy efficiency. Catalyst characterization results demonstrated that the high catalytic activity of the step by step precipitated Ni/SiO2 was mainly ascribed to its polyporous spherical structure, which led to the large specific surface area and high nickel dispersion. The appropriate acidity of the catalyst also promoted the catalytic performance significantly. Furthermore, the catalyst exhibited an excellent recyclability, where no significant loss of the catalytic activity was showed out after 3 runs.

Novel catalysts consisting of ruthenium nanoparticles encapsulated in cross-linked matrices based on the poly(propylene imine) dendrimers of the 1st and 3rd generations have been synthesized with a narrow particle size distribution (3.8 and 1.0 nm, respectively). The resulting materials showed high activity for the hydrogenation of phenols in aqueous media (specific catalytic activity reached turnover frequencies of 2975h-1 with respect to hydrogen uptake). It has been shown that the use of water as a solvent leads to a 1.5 to 50-fold increase in the reaction rate depending upon the nature of the substrate. It has been established that unlike the traditional heterogeneous catalysts based on ruthenium, during the hydrogenation of dihydroxybenzenes, the hydrogenation rate decreases in the order: resorcinol>hydroquinoneacatechol. The maximum specific activity for resorcinol was a turnover frequency of 243150h-1 with respect to hydrogen uptake. The catalyst based on the dendrimer of the 3rd generation containing finer particles has significantly inferior activity to the catalyst based on the dendrimer of the 1st generation by virtue of steric factors, as well as the need for prereduction of the ruthenium oxide contained on the surface. These catalysts showed resistance to metal leaching and may be reused several times without loss of activity.

An efficient and practical arene hydrogenation procedure based on the use of heterogeneous platinum group catalysts has been developed. Rh/C is the most effective catalyst for the hydrogenation of the aromatic ring, which can be conducted in iPrOH under neutral conditions and at ordinary to medium H 2 pressures (10 atm). A variety of arenes such as alkylbenzenes, benzoic acids, pyridines, furans, are hydrogenated to the corresponding cyclohexyl and heterocyclic compounds in good to excellet yields. The use of Ru/C, less expensive than Rh/C, affords an effective and practical method for the hydrogenation of arenes including phenols. Both catalysts can be reused several times after simple filtration without any significant loss of catalytic activity.

Raney Ni-Al alloy in a dilute aqueous alkaline solution has been shown to be a very powerful reducing agent in the hydrogenation of phenol and alkylated phenols to the corresponding cyclohexanol derivatives.

The reaction of different carbonyl compounds and imines with a mixture of iron(II) chloride tetrahydrate, an excess of lithium powder, and a catalytic amount of 4,4′-di-tert-butylbiphenyl (DTBB, 5 mol%) in THF at room temperature, led to the formation of the corresponding alcohols and amines, respectively. The process was also applied to the transformation of α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds into the corresponding saturated alcohols. The new reducing system exhibited good to excellent diastereoselectivity toward the reduction of different monocyclic and polycyclic ketones.

Novel higher order cuprates, R(2-thienyl)Cu(CN)LiMgBr (2), are prepared from the 1:1:1 combination of CuCN, 2-lithiothiophene and RMgX.Reactions of various members of this new class of reagents are described, including substitution and conjugate addition processes, where the ligand derived from the Grignard reagent is selectively transferred.The effects of added BF3*Et2O are discussed.Some comparison reactions with the corresponding lower order reagents, RCu(CN)MgBr, have also been carried out.Evidence is presented suggesting that species 2, unlike their dilithio analogs, are not discrete.
