A method of reducing a C—O bond to the corresponding C—H bond in a substrate, which could be a benzylic alcohol, allylic alcohol, ester or an ether bond beta to a hydroxyl group or alpha to a carbonyl group using a recyclable metal catalyst system. The recyclable catalyst system is also applicable to reducing a C═O bond to the corresponding C—OH bond and then C—H bond. These methodologies can be linked in one-pot to selective oxidation and depolymerizations of aromatic polyols such as lignin.
一种利用可回收
金属催化剂系统将底物中的 C-O 键还原为相应的 C-H 键的方法,底物可以是
苯甲醇、烯丙基醇、酯或醚键β到羟基或α到羰基。可循环催化剂系统还可用于将 C═O 键还原为相应的 C-OH 键,然后再还原为 C-H 键。这些方法可与芳香族多元醇(如
木质素)的选择性氧化和解聚相连。
