Abstract
The catalytic hydrogenation of esters and carboxylic acids represents a fundamental and important class of organic transformations, which is widely applied in energy, environmental, agricultural, and pharmaceutical industries. Due to the low reactivity of the carbonyl group in carboxylic acids and esters, this type of reaction is, however, rather challenging. Hence, specifically active catalysts are required to achieve a satisfactory yield. Nevertheless, in recent years, remarkable progress has been made on the development of catalysts for this type of reaction, especially heterogeneous catalysts, which are generally dominating in industry. Here in this review, we discuss the recent breakthroughs as well as milestone achievements for the hydrogenation of industrially important carboxylic acids and esters utilizing heterogeneous catalysts. In addition, related catalytic hydrogenations that are considered of importance for the development of cleaner energy technologies and a circular chemical industry will be discussed in detail. Special attention is paid to the insights into the structure-activity relationship, which will help the readers to develop rational design strategies for the synthesis of more efficient heterogeneous catalysts.

Ru@hyperbranched Polymer for Hydrogenation of Levulinic Acid to Gamma-Valerolactone: The Role of the Catalyst Support. Int J Mol Sci 2022; 23:ijms23020799.

Abstract
Hydrogenation of levulinic acid (LA) obtained from cellulose biomass is a promising path for production of γ-valerolactone (GVL)—a component of biofuel. In this work, we developed Ru nanoparticle containing nanocomposites based on hyperbranched pyridylphenylene polymer, serving as multiligand and stabilizing matrix. The functionalization of the nanocomposite with sulfuric acid significantly enhances the activity of the catalyst in the selective hydrogenation of LA to GVL and allows the reaction to proceed under mild reaction conditions (100 °C, 2 MPa of H2) in water and low catalyst loading (0.016 mol.%) with a quantitative yield of GVL and selectivity up to 100%. The catalysts were successfully reused four times without a significant loss of activity. A comprehensive physicochemical characterization of the catalysts allowed us to assess structure-property relationships and to uncover an important role of the polymeric support in the efficient GVL synthesis.

Abstract
Bimetallic Ni–Sn alloys have been recognised as promising catalysts for the transformation of furanic compounds and their derivatives into valuable chemicals. Herein, we report the utilisation of a supported bimetallic RANEY® nickel–tin alloy supported on aluminium hydroxide (RNi–Sn(x)/AlOH; x is Ni/Sn molar ratio) catalysts for the one-pot conversion of biomass-derived furfural and levulinic acid to 1,4-pentanediol (1,4-PeD). The as prepared RNi–Sn(1.4)/AlOH catalyst exhibited the highest yield of 1,4-PeD (78%). The reduction of RNi–Sn(x)/AlOH with H2 at 673–873 K for 1.5 h resulted in the formation of Ni–Sn alloy phases (e.g., Ni3Sn and Ni3Sn2) and caused the transformation of aluminium hydroxide (AlOH) to amorphous alumina (AA). The RNi–Sn(1.4)/AA 673 K/H2 catalyst contained a Ni3Sn2 alloy as the major phase, which exhibited the best yield of 1,4-PeD from furfural (87%) at 433 K, H2 3.0 MPa for 12 h and from levulinic acid (up to 90%) at 503 K, H2 4.0 MPa, for 12 h. Supported RANEY® Ni–Sn(1.5)/AC and three types of supported Ni–Sn(1.5) alloy (e.g., Ni–Sn(1.5)/AC, Ni–Sn(1.5)/c-AlOH, and Ni–Sn(1.5)/γ-Al2O3) catalysts afforded high yields of 1,4-PeD (65–87%) both from furfural and levulinic acid under the optimised reaction conditions. The RANEY® Ni–Sn(x) alloy catalysed the one-pot conversion of biomass-derived furfural and levulinic acid to allow remarkable yield of 1,4-pentanediol (up to 90%) under the mild reaction conditions.![]()

Abstract
A series of Ni-Fe/SBA-15 catalysts was prepared and tested for the catalytic hydrogenation of levulinic acid to γ-valerolactone, adopting methanol as the only hydrogen donor, and investigating the synergism between Fe and Ni, both supported on SBA-15, towards this reaction. The characterization of the synthesized catalysts was carried out by XRD (X-ray powder diffraction), TEM (transmission electron microscopy), H2-TPD (hydrogen temperature-programmed desorption), XPS (X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy), and in situ FT-IR (Fourier transform–infrared spectroscopy) techniques. H2-TPD and XPS results have shown that electron transfer occurs from Fe to Ni, which is helpful both for the activation of the C=O bond and for the dissociative activation of H2 molecules, also in agreement with the results of the in situ FT-IR spectroscopy. The effect of temperature and reaction time on γ-valerolactone production was also investigated, identifying the best reaction conditions at 200 °C and 180 min, allowing for the complete conversion of levulinic acid and the complete selectivity to γ-valerolactone. Moreover, methanol was identified as an efficient hydrogen donor, if used in combination with the Ni-Fe/SBA-15 catalyst. The obtained results are promising, especially if compared with those obtained with the traditional and more expensive molecular hydrogen and noble-based catalysts.

Abstract
Levulinic acid (LA) is classified as a key platform chemical for the development of future biorefineries, owing to its broad spectrum of potential applications and because it is simply available from lignocellulosic biomass through inexpensive and high-yield production routes. Catalytic hydrogenation reactions of LA into the pivotal intermediate compound γ-valerolactone (GVL), and beyond GVL to yield valeric acid (VA), 1,4-pentanediol (1,4-PDO), and 2-methyltetrahydrofuran (2-MTHF) have gained considerable attention in the last decade. Among the various transition metals used as catalysts in LA hydrogenation reactions, ruthenium-based catalytic systems have been the most extensively applied by far, due to the inherent ability of ruthenium under mild conditions to hydrogenate the keto functionality of LA selectively into an alcohol group to form 4-hydroxyvaleric acid intermediate, which yields GVL spontaneously after dehydration and cyclization. This review focuses on recent advances in the field of aqueous-phase ruthenium-catalyzed hydrogenation reactions of LA toward GVL, VA, 1,4-PDO, 2-MTHF, 2-pentanol, and 2-butanol. It employs heterogeneous catalysts on solid supports, and heterogeneous water-dispersible catalytic nanoparticles or homogeneous water-soluble catalytic complexes with biphasic catalyst separation, for the inter alia production of advanced biofuels such as valeric biofuels and other classes of liquid transportation biofuels, value-added fine chemicals, solvents, additives to gasoline, and to food as well. The significance of the aqueous solvent to carry out catalytic hydrogenations of LA has been highlighted because the presence of water combines several advantages: (i) it is highly polar and thus an ideal medium to convert polar and hydrophilic substrates such as LA; (ii) water is involved as a byproduct; (iii) the presence of the aqueous solvent has a beneficial effect and enormously boosts hydrogenation rates. In sharp contrast, the use of various organic solvents gives rise to a dramatic drop in catalytic activities. The promotional effect of water was proven by numerous experimental investigations and several theoretical studies employing various types of catalytic systems; (iv) the large heat capacity of water renders it an excellent medium to perform large scale exothermic hydrogenations more safely and selectively; and (v) water is a non-toxic, safe, non-inflammable, abundantly available, ubiquitous, inexpensive, and green/sustainable solvent.

Abstract
In this work, high surface area mono- and binary oxide materials based on zirconia and titania synthetized via the alginate route were applied as supports of ruthenium catalysts used in levulinic acid hydrogenation towards γ–valerolactone. The physicochemical properties of the catalysts were investigated using surface (like time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry (ToF-SIMS), transmission electron microscopy (TEM)) and bulk techniques (temperature-programmed reduction (TPR), X-ray diffraction (XRD)). The obtained results exhibited that the proposed synthesis method allows for modification of the shape, morphology, and surface properties of the studied materials. These catalysts were tested in levulinic acid hydrogenation, in which catalytic support is known to be crucial. The results revealed that the titania-supported catalyst was the most active in the reaction mentioned above, while the highest mechanical stability was observed for zirconia-supported materials.

Abstract
Levulinic acid (LA) has been ranked as one of the “Top 10” building blocks for future bio-refineries as proposed by the US Department of Energy. It is considered one of the most important platform molecules for the production of fine chemicals and fuels based on its compatibility with existing processes, market economics, and industrial ability to serve as a platform for the synthesis of important derivatives. Hydrogenation of LA to produce γ-valerolactone (GVL) is an active area of research due to the potential of GVL to be used as a biofuel in its own right and for its subsequent transformation into hydrocarbon fuels. This paper contains a new design for a simple, cost effective, and safe hydrogenation reactor for the transformation of levulinic acid to γ-valerolactone (GVL) by utilizing high boiling point organic fluid. The hydrogenation reactor is composed of a heating source—organic fluid (called “DOWTHERM A” or “thermex”) and the catalytic reactor. The advantages of high boiling temperature fluids, along with advances in hydrocracking and reforming technologies driven by the oil and gas industries, make the organic concept more suitable and safer (water coming in contact with liquid metal is well understood in the metallurgical industry to be a steam explosion hazard) for heating the hydrogenation reactor. COMSOL multi-physics software version 4.3b was applied in this work and simultaneously solves the continuity, Navier-Stokes (fluid flow), energy (heat transfer), and diffusion with chemical reaction kinetics equations. It was shown that the heat flux supplied by the DOWTHERM A organic fluid could provide the necessary heat flux required for maintaining the hydrogenation process. It was found that the mass fractions of hydrogen and levulinic acid decreased along the reactor axis. The GVL mass fraction increased along the reactor axis.

Abstract
Eucalyptus globulus wood samples were subjected to preliminary aqueous processing to remove water-soluble extractives and hemicelluloses, and the resulting solid (mainly made up of cellulose and lignin) was employed as a substrate for converting the cellulosic fraction into mixtures of levulinic and formic acid through a sulfuric acid-catalyzed reaction. These runs were carried out in a microwave-heated reactor at different temperatures and reaction times, operating in single-batch or cross-flow modes, in order to identify the most favorable operational conditions. Selected liquid phases deriving from these experiments, which resulted in concentrated levulinic acid up to 408 mmol/L, were then employed for γ-valerolactone production by levulinc acid hydrogenation in the presence of the commercial 5% Ru/C catalyst. In order to assess the effects of the main reaction parameters, hydrogenation experiments were performed at different temperatures, reaction times, amounts of ruthenium catalyst and hydrogen pressure. Yields of γ-valerolactone in the range of 85–90 mol % were obtained from the hydrogenation of the wood-derived solutions containing levulinic acid, obtained by single-batch operation or by the cross-flow process. The negative effect of co-produced formic acid present in crude levulinic acid solutions was evidenced and counteracted efficiently by allowing the preliminary thermal decomposition of formic acid itself.

Abstract
Polymeric ruthenium porphyrin-functionalized carbon nanotubes (Ru-PP/CNTs) were prepared by the metallation of polymeric porphyrin-functionalized carbon nanotubes (PP/CNTs) with Ru3(CO)12, whereas PP/CNTs were obtained by the condensation of terephthaldehyde and pyrrole in the presence of CNTs. The Ru-PP/CNTs have a thin layer of highly cross-linked polymeric ruthenium porphyrin coating over the CNT surface via strong π-π stacking interactions, thus showing a bilayered structure with an amorphous polymeric outer surface and an internal CNT core. Polymeric ruthenium porphyrin-functionalized reduced graphene oxide (Ru-PP/RGO) was prepared with a synthetic procedure similar to Ru-PP/CNTs, with RGO as the internal core. Both Ru-PP/CNTs and Ru-PP/RGO showed excellent catalytic performance toward hydrogenation of biomass-related ethyl levulinate (EL) to γ-valerolactone (GVL) with Ru-centered porphyrin units as the catalytic active species. Under optimized reaction conditions, a GVL yield higher than 99% with a complete conversion of EL was observed over both Ru-PP/CNTs and Ru-PP/RGO. In addition to GVL preparation, the versatile Ru-PP/CNTs can efficiently promote reductive amination of EL with various amines for the synthesis of pyrrolidone derivatives, with the corresponding yields ranging from 96.3 to 88.7%. Moreover, the composite materials of both Ru-PP/CNTs and Ru-PP/RGO behave as heterogeneous catalysts in the reaction system and can be easily reused.
