The dominating catalytic approach to aromatic hydrocarbons from renewables, deoxygenation of phenol-rich depolymerized lignin bio-oils, is hard to achieve: hydrodeoxygenation (HDO) of phenols typically leads to the loss of aromaticity and to non-negligible fractions of cyclohexanones and cyclohexanols. Here, we report a catalyst, niobia-supported iridium nanoparticles (Ir@NbO), which combines full conversion in the HDO of lignin-derived phenols with appreciable and tunable selectivity for aromatics (25-95%) under mild conditions (200-300 °C, 2.5-10 bar of H). A simple approach to the removal of Brønsted-acidic sites via Hünig's base prevents coking and allows reaction conditions ( > 225 °C, 2.5 bar of H), promoting high yields of aromatic hydrocarbons.
从可再生资源中获取芳烃的主要催化方法,即对富含苯酚的解聚木质素生物油进行脱氧,很难实现:酚类的加氢脱氧(HDO)通常会导致芳香性丧失,并产生不可忽视的环己酮和环己醇馏分。在此,我们报道了一种催化剂,即铌负载的铱纳米颗粒(Ir@NbO),它在温和条件(200 - 300 °C,2.5 - 10 bar氢气)下,能使木质素衍生酚类的HDO实现完全转化,并对芳烃具有可观且可调节的选择性(25 - 95%)。通过亨尼希碱去除布朗斯台德酸性位点的简单方法可防止结焦,并允许在更高的反应条件(> 225 °C,2.5 bar氢气)下促进芳烃的高产率。
