Efficient production of high value-added chemicals and biofuels via low-temperature chemoselective HDO of lignin derivatives in water is still a challenge. Here, we construct a low-cost, active and stable Pd/PCE catalyst using phosphoric acid-modified commercial Celite (PCE) as the support, and this catalyst exhibits excellent activity in low-temperature HDO of vanillin as well as other lignin derivatives in water. The superior catalytic performance is due to the presence of P species on the surface of Pd/PCE, accelerating the selective conversion of the intermediate into the final product. Detailed experimental and mechanistic studies reveal that the rapid conversion of the intermediate to the final product proceeds via a free-radical process in an interfacial microenvironment created by intimate interacting between the P species and Pd NPs. The insights of this work provide a new low-cost catalytic system for efficient production of valuable chemicals and future biofuels from lignin derivatives. This journal is

Selective reduction of aldehydes and ketones to their corresponding alcohols with KB3H8, an air- and moisture-stable, nontoxic, and easy-to-handle reagent, in water and THF has been explored under an air atmosphere for the first time. Control experiments illustrated the good selectivity of KB3H8 over NaBH4 for the reduction of 4-acetylbenzaldehyde and aromatic keto esters. This journal is

Disproportionation of aldehydes through Cannizzaro, Tishchenko, and Meerwein–Ponndorf–Verley reactions often requires the application of high temperatures, equimolar or excess quantities of strong bases, and is mostly limited to the aldehydes with no CH2 or CH3 adjacent to the carbonyl group. Herein, we developed an efficient, mild, and multifunctional catalytic system consisting AlCl3/Et3N in CH2Cl2, that can selectively convert a wide range of not only aliphatic, but also aromatic aldehydes to the corresponding alcohols, acids, and dimerized esters at room temperature, and in high yields, without formation of the side products that are generally observed. We have also shown that higher AlCl3 content favors the reaction towards Cannizzaro reaction, yet lower content favors Tishchenko reaction. Moreover, the presence of hydride donor alcohols in the reaction mixture completely directs the reaction towards the Meerwein–Ponndorf–Verley reaction.
