Abstract:
This article presents experimental data on the techniques used for the characterization of Pd-Al2O3 supported on activated biochar (2Pd-5Al/ABC) catalyst. The reported data is collected as a part of the research on the 2Pd-5Al/ABC catalyst used for lignin hydrogenolysis [1]. The data on X-ray powder diffraction, ammonia-temperature programmed desorption, pyridine diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy, and high-resolution scanning electron microscopy of various catalysts are valuable to study the changes in surface morphology and acidity upon metal loading. The data from thermogravimetric analysis, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and scanning electron microscopy-energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy are also provided to understand the thermal stability, ionic state of various metals and elemental composition of the catalyst, respectively. The data provided can be used for developing novel catalysts from renewable biochar, and the characterization of noble metal-metal oxide loaded catalysts can aid researchers to design composite catalytic materials for various applications.

02:13Reduction of Alkenes: Catalytic Hydrogenation
Metals like palladium, platinum, and nickel are commonly used in their solid forms — fine powder on an inert surface. As these catalysts remain insoluble in the reaction mixture, they are referred to as heterogeneous catalysts.

02:17Reduction of Alkenes: Asymmetric Catalytic Hydrogenation
The metal catalyst used can be either heterogeneous or homogeneous. When hydrogenation of an alkene generates a chiral center, a pair of enantiomeric products is expected to form. However, an enantiomeric excess of one of the products can be facilitated using an enantioselective reaction or an...

02:24Reduction of Alkynes to cis-Alkenes: Catalytic Hydrogenation
Like alkenes, alkynes can be reduced to alkanes in the presence of transition metal catalysts such as Pt, Pd, or Ni. The reaction involves two sequential syn additions of hydrogen via a cis-alkene intermediate.
02:47Alkynes to Aldehydes and Ketones: Hydroboration-Oxidation
One of the convenient methods for the preparation of aldehydes and ketones is via hydration of alkynes. Hydroboration-oxidation of alkynes is an indirect hydration reaction in which an alkyne is treated with borane followed by oxidation with alkaline peroxide to form an enol that rapidly converts into an aldehyde or a ketone. Terminal alkynes form aldehydes, whereas internal alkynes give ketones as the final product.
