Heterogeneous catalysis for the synthesis of chemicals using dehydrogenation/hydrogenation properties of metal nanoparticles and hydrophobicity of acidic zeolites

摘要: The ‘green chemistry’perspective, new and economically efficient processes that do not rely on the use or formation of toxic and hazardous materials are critically important. In this point of view, green chemistry and ‘sustainable technology’approaches have recently attracted substantial attention from academic and industrial chemists. 1 The ultimate goal in catalytic and organic chemistry is to reach the ideal synthesis of catalytic activity, selectivity, atom-efficiency and step-efficiency. The introduction gives an overview of the current research in the area of acceptorless dehydrogenative coupling of alcohols using supported metal catalysts, which expands the formation of CC and CN bonds. Another important target in modern synthetic catalysis is the transformation of hydrophobic substrates to important chemicals in polar environment. Recently homogeneous transition metal catalysts are used for this synthetic process …
