“…The synthesis of biofuel and high-value fine chemicals from renewable biomass provides a promising approach to sustainable economic development. Lignocellulose, as the most abundant biomass resource, is readily transformed into aromatic platform compounds (such as hemicellulose-derived 5-methylfurfural, cellulose-derived 5-hydroxymethylfurfural, and lignin-derived vanillin). − These compounds have a high unsaturated bond and oxygen content, and selective C–O hydrogenolysis of aromatic methyl–OH is an important pathway for upgrading. The hydrogenolysis of 5-methylfurfural (MF) and 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) to 2,5-dimethylfuran (DMF) and vanillin (VA) to 2-methoxy-4-methylphenol (MMP) has received intense attention for the preparation of biobased fuel and fine chemicals.…”

Developing an efficient and selective catalyst for C–O hydrogenolysis of biomass-derived aromatic aldehydes, such as 5-methylfurfural (MF), 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF), and vanillin (VA), is highly significant for the synthesis of biofuel and fine chemicals. Herein, metal–organic framework (MOF)-encapsulating metal–acid interfaces (Pd@UiO–CH2SO3H, Pd@UiO–PhSO3H) were first reported. Compared with traditionally supported catalysts (Pd/UiO–SO3H, Pd/UiO–NH2), Pd–acid-interface-encapsulated MOFs show much higher activity and selectivity for MF to 2,5-dimethylfuran (DMF), HMF to DMF, and VA to 2-methoxy-4-methylphenol (MMP) reactions. In particular, Pd@UiO–SO3H shows the best catalytic performance with 89.0 and 86.0% DMF yield from MF and HMF and a 99.4% MMP yield from VA based on its suitable hydrophilicity, high hydrogen activation ability, and abundant Pd–SO3H interface active sites. According to the catalytic performance of Pd/UiO–NH2 and the results of an ATR-IR test, the acidic sites on the Pd–acid interface can accelerate the activation of the hydroxyl group for these hydrogenolysis reactions. This work provides an effective design strategy for the preparation of MOF-encapsulating metal–acid interfaces and shows the powerful synergistic effect of hydrogenation and acid catalysis.

“…Thereafter, much work has been dedicated to the conversion of LvA to GVL, and is reviewed elsewhere. [ 177–183 ] Most promising studies have suggested the use of FA as a reducing agent, as it can decompose into H 2 and CO 2 under appropriate conditions. Indeed, FA is a byproduct of the hydrolysis of biomass into LvA, and its use as a co‐reactant would improve the overall efficiency of the process.…”

To prepare biobased polymers, particular attention must be paid to the obtention of the monomers from which they are derived. (Meth)acrylates and their analogs constitute such a class of monomers that have been extensively studied due to the wide range of polymers accessible from them. This review therefore aims to highlight the progresses made in the production and polymerization of (meth)acrylates and their analogs. Acrylic acid production from biomass is close to commercialization, as three different high‐potential intermediates are identified: glycerol, lactic acid, and 3‐hydroxypropionic acid. Biobased methacrylic acid is less common, but several promising options are available, such as the decarboxylation of itaconic acid or the dehydration of 2‐hydroxyisobutyric acid. Itaconic acid is also a vinylic monomer of great interest, and polymers derived from it have already found commercial applications. Methylene butyrolactones are promising monomers, obtained from bioresources via three different intermediates: levulinic, succinic, or itaconic acid. Although expensive, methylene butyrolactones have a strong potential for the production of high‐performance polymers. Finally, β‐substituted acrylic monomers, such as cinnamic, fumaric, muconic, or crotonic acid, are also examined, as they provide an original access to biobased materials from various renewable raw materials, such as protein waste, lignin, or wastewater.

A group of researchers led by Fulignati disclosed a maximum yield of BHMF of 79.5% on a Ru/C catalyst at the temperature of 100 °C and H 2 pressure of 3 MPa in 30 min.…”

The use of available renewable sources of raw materials for the production of various organic compounds has long been undoubted and recognized throughout the world. However, the development of efficient “green” catalytic technologies for the processing of bioavailable compounds, namely, the synthesis of catalysts and the selection of optimal process conditions, has become a real challenge for researchers nowadays. In this work, 2,5-bis(hydroxymethyl)furan, an intermediate for the production of a number of biobased polymer materials, was obtained by hydrogenation of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural in a yield close to quantitative at room temperature and atmospheric pressure in the presence of a catalytic system with 1% wt of platinum as an active phase supported on ceria–zirconia mixed oxide. On the low-loaded 0.25% Pt/CeO2–ZrO2 catalyst, the yield of the desired alcohol as high as 87% has been achieved after a slight increase of H2 pressure from 0.1 to 0.5 MPa.
