TL;DR: In this paper, the application of lignin-derived catalyst for green organic synthesis over latest two decades and aims to present a renewable alternative for conventional catalyst for future industry application.

TL;DR: It is reported that phosphorus-doped carbon nanotubes (P-CNT), showing metal-like property, can efficiently promote metal-free hydrogenation of nitrobenzene to aniline using molecular hydrogen as reducing reagent under very mild conditions with reaction temperature only 50C.

TL;DR: Rationally designed nitrogen-doped graphene nanosheets (NG) are reported as metal-free catalysts for N-formylation of various amines with CO2 and hydrosilane to formamide under mild conditions to replace the scarce and expensive transition-metal-based catalysts.

TL;DR: In this article, a visible-light-induced selective transfer hydrogenation of aromatic aldehyde to the corresponding alcohol was achieved by using Pd nanocatalyst supported on amine functionalized iron-based metal-organic frameworks [Pd/MIL-101(Fe)-NH2] with triethylamine (TEA) as an electron donor and HCOOH as a proton source.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that hierarchically porous N-doped carbon (NHC)-supported highly dispersed Cu (Cu/NHC) as a heterogeneous catalyst can efficiently promote CO2 fixations to oxazolidinones and β-oxopropylcarbamates and exhibits excellent recyclability in CO2-to-oxazolid inone transformation during nine-time recycling.
