| Abstract |
Enormous efforts are being made to develop suitable catalytic processes for the production of various platforms and value-added chemicals from carbohydrate, or directly from lignocellulosic biomass. Among these chemicals, γ-Valerolactone (GVL) is recognized as a versatile building block that could be utilized as an additive in liquid fuel for transportation, as precursor for the production of polymeric monomers, and for creation of various value-added chemicals including organic solvents and bio-oxygenates. GVL itself has proved an excellent green solvent for biomass processing due to its extraordinary physicochemical properties, which include low melting and high boiling points; remarkably low vapor pressure, even at elevated temperature and its ready miscibility with water without forming an azeotropic mixture. In this work, a series of zirconium MOFs were selected to study the catalytic transfer hydrogenation (CTH) of EL to GVL using isopropanol as H-donor. Isopropanol has already been proven as the preeminent H-donor alcohol due to its low reduction potential. It is believed that EL should be the preferred choice over LA for GVL production for two reasons. In this talk, we will also show another example for CTH based on heterocyclic aldehyde feedstock. |
