The development of heterogeneous, chemoselective, and tandem catalytic systems using abundant metals is vital for the sustainable synthesis of fine and commodity chemicals. We report a robust and recyclable single-site cobalt-hydride catalyst based on a porous aluminum metal–organic framework (DUT-5 MOF) for chemoselective hydrogenation of arenes. The DUT-5 node-supported cobalt(II) hydride (DUT-5-CoH) is a versatile solid catalyst for chemoselective hydrogenation of a range of nonpolar and polar arenes, including heteroarenes such as pyridines, quinolines, isoquinolines, indoles, and furans to afford cycloalkanes and saturated heterocycles in excellent yields. DUT-5-CoH exhibited excellent functional group tolerance and could be reusable at least five times without decreased activity. The same MOF-Co catalyst was also efficient for tandem hydrogenation–hydrodeoxygenation of aryl carbonyl compounds, including biomass-derived platform molecules such as furfural and hydroxymethylfurfural to cycloalkanes. In the case of hydrogenation of cumene, our spectroscopic, kinetic, and density functional theory (DFT) studies suggest the insertion of a trisubstituted alkene intermediate into the Co–H bond occurring in the turnover limiting step. Our work highlights the potential of MOF-supported single-site base–metal catalysts for sustainable and environment-friendly industrial production of chemicals and biofuels.

Al2O3-cogelled Ru nanoparticle (Ru@Al) catalyst was prepared by a one-pot in-situ alumina gelation method using a PVP-stabilized Ru colloid solution. The Ru@Al catalyst exhibited excellent catalytic activity during the liquid-phase hydrodeoxygenation of vanillin, demonstrating 100% conversion, as well as significantly higher yields of fully deoxygenated compounds compared to other conventional alumina-supported Ru catalysts. We also observed better selectivity to deoxygenated dimers with the Ru@Al catalyst. The improved catalytic selectivity was attributed to the hypothesized three-dimensional structures of Al2O3 surrounding the Ru nanoparticles, which improved the two-step reaction, containing the dimerization of the phenolic compounds and the hydrodeoxygenation of phenolic dimers to produce deoxygenated high-carbon-number hydrocarbons.
