| Outline of Research at the Start |
This research focuses on heterogeneous catalysts of supported metal nanoparticles for oxidant-free selective transformations of glycerol to lactic acid and amines. Selective catalytic transformation of non-food biomass-derived platform compounds is a key technology in sustainable production of chemicals. Glycerol has been identified as one of the most important platform compounds for this purpose. In this study, I will develop new catalytic methods for selective transformation of glycerol to useful chemicals.

| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We have demonstrated catalytic reaction that includes (i) the transformation of biomass-derived feedstocks into valuable chemicals, (ii) the methylation of biobased hydrocarbons, (iii) experimental and theoretical studies on machine learning aided future catalysts design. Firstly, (1) acetalization of glycerol, (2) methanolysis of triglycerides, (3) selective alkenylation of oxindoles, and (4) phenolysis of amides to form esters are demonstrated. Second-year (1) catalytic methylation of biobased hydrocarbons, (2) hydrolysis of amides, (3) reverse water gas shift reaction, and (4) catalytic methylation of benzene analogs are explored by benign green catalytic methods, lastly (1) the role of metal in supported based catalysts, (2) metal–support interactions in metal-oxide-supported materials, (3) methylation of benzene using carbon dioxide and hydrogen, (4) machine-learning method to identify novel catalysts.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
Catalytic transformation of biomass-derived feedstocks into valuable chemicals is a sustainable alternative to the chemical produced from fossil fuels. I have demonstrated Environmentally benign and low-cost methods using biomass-derived hydrocarbons and greenhouse gas carbon dioxide.
