Outline of Final Research Achievements

In the present project, four main results were successfully obtained. The first result is the preparation of Ni alloy catalysts by a hydrothermal method with low cost and low energy. The 2nd is the chemoselective hydrogenation of a wide variety of unsaturated carbonyls to synthesize the corresponding unsaturated alcohols. The 3rd is the chemoselective hydrogenation of unsaturated nitro compounds to produce unsaturated amines almost exclusively. The 4th is the synthesis of 1,5-pentanediol (1,5-PeD) from furfural, furfuryl alcohol, and tetrahydrofurfuryl alcohol with remarkably high selectivity (up to 92.4%) by rare earth metal oxides such as La(OH)3 and Y2O3 via hydrogenolysis.
