Although rhenium may not be the most common choice of active species in catalysis, it has
been reported as a highly active and selective catalyst over a wide range of reactions. Its …

This critical review discusses the synthesis of alcohols via hydrogenation of carboxylic acids
promoted by heterogeneous metal catalysis. The introductory chapter rationalizes the …

Hydrogenation of carboxylic acids is an important organic reaction for the synthesis of
alcohols, aldehydes, alkanes, and so on. Selective hydrogenation of carboxylic acids to …

Hydrodeoxygenation (HDO) is a key step in upgrading of biomass‐derived feedstocks to
fuels and valuable chemicals. In this review, I select to discuss the current understanding of …

Hydrodeoxygenation chemistries play a key role in the upgrading of biomass‐derived
feedstocks. Among these, the removal of targeted hydroxyl groups through selective C− O …

Abstract Silica‐, titania‐, and zirconia‐supported tungsten oxide catalysts were synthesized
by wetness impregnation techniques. When promoted with Pd, these materials catalyzed the …
