Ma, Mingwei published the artcileA highly efficient Cu/AlOOH catalyst obtained by in situ reduction: Catalytic transfer hydrogenation of ML into γ-GVL, Related Products of esters-buliding-blocks, the main research area is levulinate ester catalytic transfer hydrogenation copper aluminum oxyhydroxide nanocatalyst.

Catalytic transfer hydrogenation (CTH) of carbonyl compounds is considered as one of the most promising processes in the synthesis of fuels and chems. In this work, we propose a one-step strategy for catalyst preparation and CTH. Using the strategy, the production of γ-valerolactone (γ-GVL) was performed with isopropanol (2-PrOH) as solvent over in situ reduced nano-Cu/AlOOH catalyst from Cu2(OH)2CO3/AlOOH and the optimal reaction conditions for γ-GVL are 180 °C for 5 h using the in situ reduced catalyst with Cu/Al molar ratio 3/1 (90.51% yields of γ-GVL). Furthermore, it has been confirmed by different characterization methods (such as: SEM, TEM, XPS, etc.) that the catalyst is heterogeneous and exhibits high catalytic activity and stability which is attributed to the stability of the zero-valent copper in the catalyst and the nanosized particles of the catalyst. In addition, the catalysts also show general applicability to other carbonyl compounds
