Abstract
HDO reaction of vanillin compared with Ni-P and Ni-Co-P. The conversion of vanillin could be high to 97.86% with MMP selectivity of 93.97% under optimized reaction conditions. In addition, mechanism studies have shown that the side reaction of carbocation and vanillyl alcohol (HMP) condensation can be effectively reduced with increasing the hydrogenation rate, thereby the selectivity of MMP was effectively increased.
