The selective transformation of the aldehyde group (-CHO) in multifunctional oxygenates is a key challenge in the development of sustainable biomass feedstock. Herein, a smart Ni-MFC catalyst was developed from a 2D Ni-based metal-organic framework (MOF), which efficiently promoted the transformation of -CHO in the presence of H2 to a methyl group (-CH3) via the reductive etherification and hydrogenolysis of the C-O ether bond in methanol. Moreover, the catalytic process could be controlled to directionally produce methyl ether (-CH2OR) using the reductive etherification protocol. For the catalytic reduction of vanillin, the Ni-MFC-700 catalyst guaranteed the full conversion of vanillin and 96.5% yield of the desired 2-methoxy-4-methylphenol (MMP), while the Ni-MFC-500 catalyst afforded about 82.7% yield of 4-(methoxymethyl)-2-methoxyphenol in methanol solvent. This is a novel and promising approach for the valorization of multifunctional oxygenates and biomass-derived platform compounds.

By using novel Pd/Ni bimetallic nanoparticles as a catalyst, the active benzaldehydes were hydrogenated to the corresponding benzyl alcohols as unique products in practical quantitative yields. The undesired catalytic hydrogenolysis of the benzyl alcohol was inhibited completely. By using this hydrogenation as a key step, the total synthesis of the natural product gastrodin was achieved with less total steps and a higher total yield.

The reactivity of verbenol epoxide and isopulegol in supercritical solvents in the presence of aromatic aldehydes was studied using a flow type reactor and a heterogeneous catalyst (Al2O3) or no catalyst. The intramolecular transformations or interactions of reagents with the solvent prevailed in all cases; the yield of the products of intermolecular reactions of terpenoids with aldehydes was up to 1%. The aldehydes did not interact with verbenol epoxide but produced a considerable effect on the distribution of its isomerization products.
