Employing phenols and phenol derivatives as electrophiles for cross-coupling reactions has
numerous advantages over commonly used aryl halides in terms of environmental …

Lignin chemistry is regarded as one of the core components in the field of biomass catalytic
conversion. Over the past decade, the catalytic synthesis of value-added chemicals or …

Phenol and its derivatives, which naturally occur in lignocellulose, can be considered as a
renewable feedstock not only for aromatic, but also for alicyclic compounds, such as primary …

Hydrogenated methylene dianiline (H 12 MDA) is a valuable precursor for thermoplastic
polyurethane. Traditionally, H 12 MDA is obtained by hydrogenation of methylene dianiline …

Pyridines are ubiquitous aromatic rings used in organic chemistry and are crucial elements
of the drug discovery process. Herein we describe a new catalytic method that directly …

Phenols are readily available by degradation of lignin resource. Palladium-catalyzed
conversion of phenols to tetrahydro-β-carboline skeletons bearing a spirocycle at the C-1 …

A simple and environmentally benign procedure for the synthesis of secondary amines in
water has been developed. Combining Ru3 (CO) 12, tetraphenylcyclopentadienone and a …

Anilines are essential building blocks and widely used in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals,
agrochemicals, polymers and hetercycles, but its production is highly relied on traditional …

The liquid phase amination of the cyclohexanone (CyO) with aniline (PhNH 2) was studied
on a Pd/C catalyst using NaCO 2 H as a H-donor. Catalytic tests were performed in batch …

The heterogeneously catalyzed reductive amination of phenolics from lignin is considered
an attractive sustainable route for the synthesis of primary or high-order aromatic and …
