| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
For a sustainable society, we need to build a carbon-neutral system and a shift from the current fossil resource-based compounds to the renewable biomass resources, effectively. In this research, we have developed the reaction that induces polyols obtained from biomass resources to the same compounds applicable to petrochemical alternative routes.
We found that novel catalyst promoted the transformation of terminal hydroxymethyl group of various alcohols to the one-carbon reduced compounds These results were published in the top journal, Scientific Reports. In particular, this paper has been chosen as the top 100 among this journal, which shows the magnitude of the impact of this research of worldwide. Moreover, the Ru/CeO2 catalyst developed in this research can convert not only the terminal hydroxyl group but also the oxygen-containing compounds, such as carboxylic acids, esters, and lactones, into one carbon reduced compounds in high yield.
