Herein, we report an efficient transition metal triflate catalyzed approach to convert biomass-based compounds, such as monoterpene alcohols, sugar alcohols, octyl acetate and tea tree oil, to their corresponding olefins in high yields. The reaction proceeds through C-O bond cleavage under solvent-free conditions, where the catalytic activity is determined by the oxophilicity and the Lewis acidity of the metal catalyst. In addition, we demonstrate how the oxygen containing functionality affects the formation of the olefins. Furthermore, the robustness of the used metal triflate catalysts, Fe(OTf)3 and Hf(OTf)4, is highlighted by their ability to convert an over 2400-fold excess of 2-octanol to octenes in high isolated yields.

Catalysts based on platinum and palladium nanoparticles immobilized in mesoporous phenolformaldehyde polymers modified with sulfo groups have been used for the hydrogenation of a number of terpenes, such as (S)-(–)-limonene, α-terpinene, γ-terpinene, and terpinolene. It has been found that Pd-containing catalysts exhibit higher activity in the exhaustive hydrogenation of terpenes, whereas Pt-containing catalysts have high selectivity for p-menthene.

The reduction of a series of alkyl mesylates, dimesylates and triflates to the corresponding hydrocarbons was efficiently performed using a reducing system composed of CuCl2·2H2O, an excess of lithium sand and a catalytic amount (5 mol%) of 4,4′-di-tert-butylbiphenyl (DTBB), in tetrahydrofuran at room temperature. The process was also applied to enol and dienol triflates affording alkenes and dienes, respectively. The use of the deuterated copper salt CuCl2·2D2O allowed the simple preparation of the corresponding deuterated products.
