Abstract
Isohexide-derived diamines are considered preferred precursors for the production of biobased polyurethanes and polyamides. However, current synthesis methods from isohexides suffer from serious issues concerning selectivity and the recyclability of the process auxiliaries (e. g. homogeneous catalysts), which renders a translation to the industry highly unlikely. Here, we report on the production of such diamine building blocks, via a tandem electrooxidation - reductive amination process in which the process auxiliaries can be easily recycled. The application of (immobilized) TEMPO in combination with simple halides (e. g. NaBr) in the electrochemical step even enables the oxidation of the sterically hindered exo-OHs of the isohexides to the corresponding diketones (yield up to 99 %). In the subsequent reductive amination, the produced ketones are atom-efficiently converted to isohexide diamines utilizing NH3, H2, and Ru/C and an acid resin cocatalyst.

Abstract
The Ir(III)-catalyzed synthesis of 3-pyrrolidinols and 4-piperidinols combining 1,2,4-butanetriol or 1,3,5-pentanetriol with primary amines was carried out. This borrowing hydrogen methodology was further extended to the sequential diamination of triols leading to amino-pyrrolidines and amino-piperidines.

Abstract
The regio- and diastereoselective synthesis of chiral amines derived from 1,4-d-sorbitan has been developed via the borrowing hydrogen reaction using a cooperative catalysis between an achiral iridium catalyst and diphenylphosphoric acid. The different reactivities of the four hydroxyl groups on the 1,4-d-sorbitan scaffold have also been highlighted.

Hydrogen Borrowing: towards Aliphatic Tertiary Amines from Lignin Model Compounds Using a Supported Copper Catalyst. CHEMSUSCHEM 2022; 15:e202200868.

Abstract
Upcoming biorefineries, such as lignin-first provide renewable aromatics containing unique aliphatic alcohols. In this context, a Cu-ZrO2 catalyzed hydrogen borrowing approach was established to yield tertiary amine from the lignin model monomer 3-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)-1-propanol and the actual lignin-derived monomers, (3-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-1-propanol and dihydroconiferyl alcohol), with dimethylamine. Various industrial metal catalysts were evaluated, resulting in nearly quantitative mass balances for most catalysts. Identified intermediates, side and reaction products were placed into a corresponding reaction network, supported by kinetic evolution experiments. Cu-ZrO2 was selected as most suitable catalyst combining high alcohol conversion with respectable aliphatic tertiary amine selectivity. Low pressure H2 was key for high catalyst activity and tertiary amine selectivity, mainly by hindering undesired reactant dimethylamine disproportionation and alcohol amidation. Besides dimethylamine model, diverse secondary amine reactants were tested with moderate to high tertiary amine yields. As most active catalytic site, highly dispersed Cu species in strong contact with ZrO2 is suggested. ToF-SIMS, N2 O chemisorption, TGA and XPS of spent Cu-ZrO2 revealed that imperfect amine product desorption and declining surface Cu lowered the catalytic activity upon catalyst reuse, while thermal reduction readily restored the initial activity and selectivity demonstrating catalyst reuse.

Abstract
As the monomeric unit of the abundant biopolymer cellulose, glucose is considered a sustainable feedstock for producing carbon-based transportation fuels, chemicals, and polymers. The chemocatalytic value addition of glucose can be broadly classified into those involving C-C bond cleavage/formation reactions and those without. The C6 products obtained from glucose are particularly satisfying because their syntheses enjoy a 100% carbon economy. Although multiple derivatives of glucose retaining all six carbon atoms in their moiety are well-documented, they are somewhat dispersed in the literature and never delineated coherently from the perspective of their carbon skeleton. The glucose-derived chemical intermediates discussed in this review include polyols like sorbitol and sorbitan, diols like isosorbide, furanic compounds like 5-(hydroxymethyl)furfural, and carboxylic acids like gluconic acid. Recent advances in producing the intermediates mentioned above from glucose following chemocatalytic routes have been elaborated, and their derivative chemistry highlighted. This review aims to comprehensively understand the prospects and challenges associated with the catalytic synthesis of C6 molecules from glucose.
