TiO2-supported bimetallic nanocatalysts were prepared and reduced at two different temperatures, 375?C and 575?C for selective hydrogenation of citral to corresponding unsaturated alcohols (geraniol (GOL) and nerol (NOL)). The nanocatalysts were characterized by difference techniques of Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), Brunauer, Emmett and Teller (BET) surface area measurement, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Energy Dispersive X-ray Analysis (EDAX), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The prepared nanocatalysts are uniformly dispersed with an average particle size of 50-100 nm and zero valence metallic state. Catalysts reduced at higher temperature lead to an increase in selectivity toward unsaturated alcohols (GOL and NOL). The Pt-Ru/TiO2 shows higher activity compared to Pt-Pd/TiO2 and Pt-Au/TiO2 nanocatalysts. In addition, a second metal (Ru) also leads to an increase in GOL and NOL selectivity during citral hydrogenation. Partially generated oxidized second metal species due to the difference in electronegativity, strongly binds the C=O group and also paves the way for selective activation of C=O bond.

Reduction reactions of unsaturated compounds are fundamental transformations in synthetic chemistry. In this context, the reduction of polarized double bonds such as carbonyl or C=C motifs can be achieved by hydrogenation reactions. We describe here a highly chemoselective Mn(I)-based PNP pincer catalyst for the hydrosilylation of aldehydes and ketones employing polymethylhydrosiloxane (PMHS) as inexpensive hydrogen donor.

A hollow core-shell magnetic zirconium hydroxide catalyst was synthesized and employed for the catalytic transfer hydrogenation (CTH) ofnumerous biomass-derived platform molecules (furfural and other carbonyl compounds). 93.9% conversion of furfural and 97.3% selectivity of furfuryl alcohol was achieved under mild reaction conditions (160 °C, 4 h, 0.1 g catalyst) with 2-propanol as the H-donor. After 7 times of reaction cycles, the catalyst retained excellent conversion (91.1%) and selectivity (97.8%) and no structural damage was found. Furthermore, a scale-up experiment was carried out, and the results proved that the catalyst has a prospect for industrial applications in the CTH reaction.
