| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We previously discovered a new concept “carboxylic acid (CA) self-induced hydrogenation of CA”, which in this project was developed into a more general method for various hydrogenation of biomass-derived monocarboxylic acids such as fatty acids, and amino acids, and the Krebs cycle metabolites including polycarboxylic acids, to the corresponding alcohols. The hydrogenation was effectively and selectively promoted by newly-devised ruthenium complexes with monodentate or bidentate phosphine ligands or iridium complexes with tetradentate ligands as catalysts.
