| Research Abstract |
Hydrodeoxygenation of biomass-lignin-derived compounds has been investigated using guaiacol as a model substrate. Both multi-step process and single-step process were developed. The multi-step process involves steps using Rh catalyst, Ru catalyst, and Ir-ReOx catalyst. Cyclohexanol was obtained in good yield. The single-step process uses Ru catalyst and base co-catalyst, giving high yield of cyclohexanol.
