Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to a molybdenum-quinoline complex and its preparation method, as well as a method for preparing coupling products by deoxygenation coupling of allyl alcohol, belonging to the field of catalyst technology. Background Technology
[0002] With increasing global emphasis on renewable energy and green chemistry, the efficient conversion and utilization of biomass, as an abundant and renewable resource, has become a research hotspot. In biomass conversion, allyl alcohols, as common structural units, are widely found in the dehydration products of polyhydroxy biomass, such as furfuryl alcohol. Therefore, developing reactions targeting compounds with allyl alcohol structures is of great significance for biomass conversion.
[0003] Allyl alcohols can extend their carbon chains through carbon-carbon coupling reactions, thus enabling their application in the synthesis of fine chemicals and high-fuel-value fuels. However, traditional alcohol coupling methods typically require reagents such as halogens and expensive metals like palladium, resulting in high conversion costs and potential environmental pollution. Molybdenum, as an inexpensive transition metal with high oxygen affinity, is widely used in oxygen transfer reactions such as epoxidation and deoxygenation, making it an ideal catalyst for the deoxygenation coupling of allyl alcohols.

Furthermore, this application also relates to the catalyst preparation method and the optimization of reaction conditions, providing technical support for the industrial application of this type of reaction.
