The present invention relates to a process for the preparation of a nitrogen containing biopolymer-based catalyst by pyrolysis of a metal complex with a nitrogen-containing biopolymer and to the nitrogen containing biopolymer-based catalysts obtainable by this process. In particular, the invention relates to a nitrogen containing biopolymer-based catalyst comprising metal particles and at least one nitrogen containing carbon layer. The invention also relates to the use of a nitrogen containing biopolymer-based catalyst in a hydrogenation process, preferably in a process for hydrogenation of nitroarenes, nitriles or imines; in a reductive dehalogenation process of C-X bonds, wherein X is CI, Br or I, preferably in a process for dehalogenation of organohalides or in a process for deuterium labelling of arenes via dehalogenation of organohalides; or in an oxidation process. Further, the invention relates to a metal complex with the nitrogen containing biopolymer, wherein the metal is a transition metal selected from the group consisting of manganese, ruthenium, cobalt, rhodium, nickel, palladium and platinum, preferably cobalt or nickel, and wherein the nitrogen containing biopolymer is selected from chitosan, chitin and a polyamino acid, preferably chitosan or chitin.

Hydrodehalogenation is a straightforward approach for detoxifications of harmful anthropogenic organohalide-based pollutants, as well as removal of halide protecting groups used in multistep syntheses. A novel sustainable catalytic material was prepared from biowaste (chitosan) in combination with an earth-abundant cobalt salt. The heterogeneous catalyst was fully characterized by transmission electron microscope, X-ray diffraction, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy measurements, and successfully applied to hydrodehalogenation of alkyl and (hetero)aryl halides with broad scope (>40 examples) and excellent chemoselectivity using molecular hydrogen as a reductant. The general usefulness of this method is demonstrated by successful detoxification of non-degradable pesticides and fire retardants. Moreover, the potential of the catalyst as a deprotection tool is demonstrated in a multistep synthesis of (±)-peronatin B (alkaloid).
