“…A catalyst consisting of hydrotalcite supported Pt nanoparticles (Pt/HT) has been reported as an efficient system for the direct hydrogenolysis of furfural to 1,2-pentanediol (1,2-PeD) without the presence of additives. 110 The selectivity of the reaction was highly favored by the cooperative effect of the Pt NPs and the basic sites of the HT structure. Initially, the Pt/HT catalyst reduces the formyl group of furfural to produce furfuryl alcohol.…”

Layered double hydroxides (LDHs) and derived materials have been widely used as heterogeneous catalysts for different types of reactions either in gas or in liquid phase. Among these processes, the valorization/upgrading of lignocellulosic biomass and derived molecules have attracted enormous attention because it constitutes a pivotal axis in the transition from an economic model based on fossil resources to one based on renewable biomass resources with preference for biomass waste streams. Proof of this is the increasing amount of literature reports regarding the rational design and implementation of LDHs and related materials in catalytic processes such as: depolymerization, hydrogenation, selective oxidations, and C-C coupling reactions, among others, where biomass-derived compounds are used. The major aim of this contribution is to situate the most recent advances on the implementation of these types of catalysts into a lignocellulosic-feedstock biorefinery scheme, highlighting the versatility of LDHs and derived materials as multifunctional, tunable, cheap and easy to produce heterogeneous catalysts.

“…The Ru/MnO x catalyst was reported to hydrogenate FA to 1,2-PeD in aqueous solution with 42.1 % yield achieved [61]. The hydrotalcite-supported Pt nanoparticles (Pt/HT) was capable of achieving 73 % yield of 1,2-PeD from furfural in isopropanol [62]. No work has been reported to hydrogenate tetrahydrofurfuryl alcohol into 1,2-PeD.…”

Biomass has the potential to serve as a sustainable source of energy and organic carbon for our industrial society. The focus of this chapter is to provide a survey of different strategies to achieve chemical catalytic conversion of biomass-derived oxygenated feedstocks to value-added chemicals and fuels. The key reactions involved in the processing of biomass are hydrolysis, dehydration, isomerization, aldol condensation, reforming, hydrogenation/hydrogenolysis, and oxidation. Here, a few specific examples, namely efficient hydrolysis of cellulose over novel solid acids and synthesis of polyols by hydrogenation/hydrogenolysis of cellulose and sugar have been chosen for this review. Further, the selective conversion of platform molecules, such as furan, HMF, and biogenic carboxylic acids into intermediates, specialties, and fine chemicals has been considered. While many challenges are involved in biomass processing, understanding of fundamental reaction chemistry for different types of reactions can lead to the development of new approaches for specific processes.

“…Encouraged by these achievements, we applied our macroligand concept to the valorization of biogenic platform chemicals such as glycerol (C3), furfural (C5), and levulinic acid (C5) via selective cleavage of C−O bonds and C−C bonds. In this account, we describe our recent studies of the development of high‐performance macroligand catalysts aiming at a biomass refinery; i. e. transformation of glycerol, furfural, and levulinic acid to corresponding diols via selective cleavage of C−O and C−C bonds. Also, in addition to these cleavage reactions, the valorization of glycerol by acetylation and acetalization, and of levulinic acid by hydrogenation and one‐pot synthesis of 2‐methyltetrahydrofuran using our highly active heterogeneous catalysts were involved.…”

The environmental impact of CO emissions via the use of fossil resources as chemical feedstock and fuels has stimulated research to utilize renewable biomass feedstock. The biogenic compounds such as polyols are highly oxygenated and their valorization requires the new methods to control the oxygen to carbon ratio of the chemicals. The catalytic cleavage of C-O bonds and C-C bonds is promising methods, but the conventional catalyst systems encounter the difficulty to obtain the high yields of the desired products. This review describes our recent development of the high performance heterogeneous catalysts for the valorization of the biogenic chemicals such as glycerol, furfural, and levulinic acid via selective cleavage of C-O bonds and C-C bonds in the liquid-phase. Selective C-O bond cleavage by hydrogenolysis enables production of various diols useful as engineering plastics, antifreeze, and cosmetics in high yields. The success of the selective C-C bond scission of levulinic acid can be applied to a wide range of the biogenic oxygenates such as carboxylic acids, esters, lactones, and primary alcohols, in which the selective C-C bond scission at adjacent to the oxygen functional groups are achieved. Furthermore, valorization of glycerol by selective acetylation and acetalization, and of levulinic acid by hydrogenation is described. Our catalysts show excellent performance compared to the reported catalysts in the aforementioned valorization.
