The development of a simple and durable catalytic system for the production of chemicals from a high concentration of a substrate is important for biomass conversion. In this manuscript, 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) was converted to 1-hydroxy-2,5-hexanedione (HHD) using the combination of commercial Pd/C and acetic acid (AcOH) in water. The influence of temperature, H2pressure, reaction time, catalyst amount and the concentration of AcOH and HMF on this transformation was investigated. A 68% yield of HHD was able to be obtained from HMF at a 13.6 wt% aqueous solution with a 98% conversion of HMF. The resinification of intermediates on the catalyst was characterized to be the main reason for the deactivation of Pd/C. The reusability of the used Pd/C was studied to find that most of the activity could be recovered by being washed in hot tetrahydrofuran.Keywords:HMF;1-hydroxy-2,5-hexanedione;acetic acid;Pd/C;high concentration

The conversion of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) to 1-hydroxy-2,5-hexanedione (HHD) represented a typical route for high-value utilization of biomass. However, this reaction was often catalyzed by the noble metal catalyst. In this manuscript, W promoted Ni/Al2O3 was prepared as a noble-metal-free catalyst for this transformation. The catalysts were characterized by XRD, XPS, NH3-TPD, TEM, and EDS-mapping to study the influence of the introduction of W. There was an interaction between Ni and W, and strong acid sites were introduced by the addition of W. The W promoted Ni/Al2O3 showed good selectivity to HHD when used as a catalyst for the hydrogenation of HMF in water. The influences of the content of W, temperature, H2 pressure, reaction time, and acetic acid (AcOH) were studied. NiWOx/Al2O3-0.5 (mole ratio of W:Ni = 0.5) was found to be the most suitable catalyst. The high selectivity to HHD was ascribed to the acid sites introduced by W. This was proved by the fact that the selectivity to HHD was increased a lot when AcOH was added just using Ni/Al2O3 as catalysts. 59% yield of HHD was achieved on NiWOx/Al2O3-0.5 at 393 K, 4 MPa H2 reacting for 6 h, which was comparable to the noble metal catalyst, showing the potential application in the production of HHD from HMF.

Rhodococcus sp. WB9, a strain isolated from polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons contaminated soil, degraded phenanthrene (PHE, 100 mg L −1 ) completely within 4 days. 18 metabolites were identified during PHE degradation, including 5 different hydroxyphenanthrene compounds resulted from multiple routes of initial monooxygenase attack. Initial dioxygenation dominantly occurred on 3,4-C positions, followed by meta -cleavage to form 1-hydroxy-2-naphthoic acid (1H2N). More than 95.2% of 1H2N was transported to and kept in extracellular solution without further degradation. However, intracellular 1H2N was converted to 1,2-naphthalenediol that was branched to produce salicylate and phthalate. Furthermore, 131 genes in strain WB9 genome were related to aromatic hydrocarbons catabolism, including the gene coding for salicylate 1-monooxygenase that catalyzed the oxidation of 1H2N to 1,2-naphthalenediol, and complete gene sets for the transformation of salicylate and phthalate toward tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle. Metabolic and genomic analyses reveal that strain WB9 has the ability to metabolize intracellular 1H2N to TCA cycle intermediates, but the extracellular 1H2N can’t enter the cells, restricting 1H2N bioavailability and PHE mineralization.

In this paper, Cp*Ir (III) Complex and acid co-catalyst system was developed. By using Cp*Ir and γ-Al 2 O 3 (Lewis acid), 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (5-HMF) can be converted efficiently to 3-hydroxymethyl cyclopentanone (HCPN). Meanwhile, Cp*Ir and Brønsted acid can promote conversion of 5-HMF to 1-Hydroxy-2,5-hexanedione (HHD). The effect of Lewis acid and Brønsted acid on the hydrogenation of furan derivatives was studied. Mechanism of conversion of 5-HMF to HCPN was discussed in detail and mechanism proposed by our predecessors was revised. Instead of being an intermediate for the formation of HCPN, it is believed that, HHD is a product of another reaction pathway. HHD condensed via Aldol reaction to produce 3-methylcyclopenten-2-ol-1-one (MCP) instead of HCPN. Under the promotion of Lewis acid, 5-HMF firstly convert to the precursor of HHD. After that, the reaction is through 4 π-electrocyclic ring closure process and HCPN was formed ultimately. Furthermore, we found that our Cp*Ir and acid co-catalyst system is suitable for a variety of furfural compounds. By using Cp*Ir, Brønsted acid can promote conversion of furfural compounds to straight chain ketones and Lewis acid can promote the rearrangement of furfural compounds to cyclopentanone derivatives.
