Cobalt-Nanoparticles Catalyzed Efficient and Selective Hydrogenation of Aromatic Hydrocarbons

The development of inexpensive and practical catalysts for arene hydrogenations is key for future valorizations of this general feedstock. Here, we report the development of cobalt nanoparticles supported on silica as selective and general catalysts for such reactions. The specific nanoparticles were prepared by assembling cobalt-pyromellitic acid-piperazine coordination polymer on commercial silica and subsequent pyrolysis. Applying the optimal nanocatalyst, industrial bulk, substituted, and functionalized arenes as well as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons are selectively hydrogenated to obtain cyclohexane-based compounds under industrially viable and scalable conditions. The applicability of this hydrogenation methodology is presented for the storage of H2 in liquid organic hydrogen carriers.

OXIDATION OF METHYL-SUBSTITUTED BIPHENYL COMPOUNDS

A process for oxidizing methyl-substituted biphenyl compounds comprises contacting a mixture comprising isomers of at least one methyl-substituted biphenyl compound with a source of oxygen, wherein the mixture comprises at least 20 wt% of isomer(s) having a methyl group at a 2-position or a 3-position on at least one benzene ring and at least 50 wt% of isomer(s) having a methyl group at a 4-position on at least one benzene ring, wherein said percentages are based on the total weight of the at least one methylbiphenyl compound in the mixture.

Iron nanoparticles in the coupling of alkyl halides with aryl Grignard reagents

Iron nanoparticles, either formed in situ stabilized by 1,6-bis(diphenylphosphino)hexane or polyethylene glycol (PEG), or preformed stabilized by PEG, are excellent catalysts for the cross-coupling of aryl Grignard reagents with primary and secondary alkyl halides bearing β-hydrogens and they also prove effective in a tandem cyclization/cross- coupling reaction.
