Ce promoted Cu/γ-Al2O3 catalysts were prepared with varying amounts of Cu (x = 0–10 wt%) and Ce (y = 0–15 wt%). The prepared catalysts were characterized and tested for the conversion of aqueous glucose (5 wt%) to 1,2-propanediol in a batch reactor. 10%Ce-8%Cu/γ-Al2O3 showed the complete conversion of glucose with 62.7% selectivity of 1,2-propanediol and total glycols (1,2-propanediol, ethylene glycol & 1,2-butanediol) of 81% at milder reaction conditions. Cu facilitated the hydrogenation activity and Ce loading optimize the acid/base sites of Cu/γ-Al2O3 which obtain high selectivity of 1, 2-propanediol. Catalyst reusability is reported.

We present herein an unprecedented diastereoconvergent synthesis of vicinal diamines from diols through an economical, redox-neutral process. Under cooperative ruthenium and Lewis acid catalysis, readily available anilines and 1,2-diols (as a mixture of diastereomers) couple to forge two C?N bonds in an efficient and diastereoselective fashion. By identifying an effective chiral iridium/phosphoric acid co-catalyzed procedure, the first enantioconvergent double amination of racemic 1,2-diols has also been achieved, resulting in a practical access to highly valuable enantioenriched vicinal diamines.

The synthesis of ethylene glycol (EG) through hydrogenation of syngas-derived dimethyl oxalate (DMO) has been a promising method because syngas can be obtained from plentiful resources such as coal, natural gas, biomass,etc.In this work, we fabricated several indium-promoted Cu/SiO2catalysts by a one-pot hydrolysis precipitation (HP) method for the DMO-to-EG reaction. The textural and physiochemical properties of the catalysts were revealed using multiple characterization methods. The intimate contact of Cu and In enhances the reduction of indium oxide and the formation of CuIn alloy. The introduction of indium also markedly improves the copper dispersion and formation of Cu0active sites, which improve the activation of H2. The plentiful interface of Cu+-CuIn alloy prompts the conversion of the carbonyl group adsorbed on the Cu+sites with the dissociated hydrogen on the vicinal CuIn alloy, which is confirmed by the higher TOF (Cu+) and the lower apparent activation energy (Ea) on the Cu1In/SiO2catalyst. Both CuIn alloy and Cu0species have a synergistic effect with Cu+, endowing the Cu1In/SiO2catalyst with a higher EG yield (96%) in comparison with the Cu/SiO2catalyst without doping.
