Abstract
Developing a low-cost and robust catalyst for efficient transformation of biomass-derived platform chemicals plays a crucial role in the synthesis of future transportation fuels. Herein, a post-synthetic strategy was employed to develop a noble metal-free and robust ZrY zeolite catalyst, which is efficient for the hydrogenation of biomass-derived levulinic acid (LA) into biofuel γ-valerolactone (GVL), whereas over 95% yield of GVL was achieved in 10 h at 220°C. The effects of acidic properties from ZrY catalysts and various reaction parameters on the catalytic performance were then discussed in detail. Subsequently, different characterization tools were used to compare the difference and relationship of structure activity between the fresh and spent ZrY catalysts. It was found that acidity and the metal–support interaction were important for the direct synthesis of GVL. This work provides a guideline to design a noble metal-free catalyst for high-value utilization of biomass-derived sources.

Abstract
In this work, acid-catalyzed conversion of cellulose into levulinic acid in a biphasic solvent system was developed. Compared to a series of catalysts investigated in this study, the Amberlyst-15 as a more efficient acid catalyst was used in the hydrolysis of cellulose and further dehydration of derived intermediates into levulinic acid. Besides, the mechanism of biphasic solvent system in the conversion of cellulose was studied in detail, and the results showed biphasic solvent system can promote the conversion of cellulose and suppress the polymerization of the by-products (such as lactic acid).The reaction conditions, such as temperature, time, and catalyst loading were changed to investigate the effect on the yield of levulinic acid. The results indicated that an appealing LA yield of 59.24% was achieved at 200°C and 180 min with a 2:1 ratio of Amberlyst-15 catalyst and cellulose in GVL/H2O under N2 pressure. The influence of different amounts of NaCl addition to this reaction was also investigated. This study provides an economical and environmental-friendly method for the acid-catalyzed conversion of cellulose and high yield of the value-added chemical.

Abstract
γ-Valerolactone (GVL), derived from renewable lignocellulosic biomass, has been considered as a cost-competitive and green platform chemical. With the increasingly prominent environmental problems, a deep understanding of the preparation and transformation of GVL is highly needed. Based on the latest progress made with GVL, preparation and applications of GVL are summarized and discussed in this Review. In particular, the state-of-the-art in catalytic production of GVL is described based on the use of noble-metal and non-noble-metal catalysts. The application of GVL for the valorization of lignocellulose would improve the yield of target products such as sugar monomers and furfural. Thus, GVL can be produced from lignocellulose and simultaneously it can also be used for the valorization of lignocellulose, just as in the sustainable and renewable cycle, "the falling leaves returns to their roots". This Review is expected to provide valuable reference and new proposal for the further development and better utilization of GVL.

Abstract
The ligand HCNNOMe (6-(4-methoxyphenyl)-2-aminomethylpyridine) is easily prepared from the commercially available 6-(4-methoxyphenyl)pyridine-2-carbaldehyde by the reaction of hydroxylamine and hydrogenation (H2, 1 atm) with Pd/C. The pincer complexes cis-[RuCl(CNNOMe)(PPh3)2] (1) and [RuCl(CNNOMe)(PP)] (PP = dppb, 2; and dppf, 3) are synthesized from [RuCl2(PPh3)3], HCNNOMe and PP (for 2 and 3) in 2-propanol with NEt3 at reflux and are isolated in 85-93% yield. Carbonylation of 1 (CO, 1 atm) gives [RuCl(CNNOMe)(CO)(PPh3)] (4) (79% yield) which cleanly reacts with Na[BArf4] and PCy3, affording the cationic trans-[Ru(CNNOMe)(CO)(PCy3)(PPh3)][BArf4] (5) (92% yield). These robust pincer complexes display remarkably high catalytic activity in the transfer hydrogenation (TH) of lignocellulosic biomass carbonyl compounds, using 2-propanol at reflux in a basic medium (NaOiPr or K2CO3). Thus, furfural, 5-(hydroxymethyl)furfural and Cyrene are reduced to the corresponding alcohols with 2 and 3, at S/C in the range of 10 000-100 000, within minutes or hours (TOF up to 1 500 000 h-1). The monocarbonyl complex 5 was found to be extremely active in the TH of cinnamaldehyde, vanillin derivatives and ethyl levulinate at S/C in the range of 10 000-50 000. Vanillyl alcohol is also obtained by the TH of vanillin with 5 (S/C = 500) in 2-propanol in the presence of K2CO3.
