Selective degradation of wood lignin over noble-metal catalysts in a two-step process

Paul Joseph Dyson, Ning Yan, Cheng Wang, Chenxu Zhao, Chen Zhao

Direct conversion of lignin into alkanes and methanol was carried out in a two-step process (hydrogenolysis and hydrogenation) involving initial treatment of white birch wood sawdust with H2 in dioxane/water/phosphoric acid using carbon supported Ru, Pd, R ...

Amide bond formation via C(sp(3))-H bond functionalization and CO insertion

Paul Joseph Dyson, Gabor Laurenczy, Ning Yan, Huizhen Liu

An efficient method for the synthesis of amides via Pd-catalyzed oxidative carbonylation of C(sp(3))-H bonds with CO and amines is described. The route efficiently provides substituted phenyl amides from alkanes. ...

Ionic-liquid-like copolymer stabilized nanocatalysts in ionic liquids: II. Rhodium-catalyzed hydrogenation of arenes

Paul Joseph Dyson, Ning Yan, Chenxu Zhao, Chen Zhao

Rhodium nanoparticles stabilized by the ionic-liq.-like copolymer N-Vinyl-2-pyrrolidone-1-vinyl-3-butylimidazolium chloride-1-vinyl-3-ethylimidazolium bromide copolymer were used to catalyze the hydrogenation of benzene and other arenes in ILs. The nanopar ...

Solvation and stabilization of palladium nanoparticles in phosphonium-based ionic liquids: a combined infrared spectroscopic and density functional theory study

Ning Yan

Analysis of infrared spectra of palladium nanoparticles (NPs) immersed in the tri-tert-butyl-R-phosphonium-based ionic liquids (ILs) demonstrates that both cations and anions of the ILs interact with the NPs. According to quantum-chemical simulations of th ...

Acid-free regioselective aminocarbonylation of alkenes

Paul Joseph Dyson, Ning Yan, Huizhen Liu

An efficient method for the synthesis of N-aryl monosubstituted carboxamides via the Pd-catalyzed carbonylation of alkenes with CO and amines is described. Mechanistic insights for this highly selective reaction are provided. ...
