Selective hydrogenation of cinnamaldehyde over Pd (2 wt\%) supported on CeO2, ZrO2 and CeO2-ZrO2 catalysts is reported for the first time. In general, the olefinic (C=C) group of cinnamaldehyde is preferentially hydrogenated compared to the carbonyl (C=O) group. This selectivity preference could, however, be altered or reversed by adding alkali additives to the catalyst. The influence of additive on the structure and redox properties of the active sites and correlation of that with selective hydrogenation activity is investigated.

Selective liquid phase hydrogenation of cinnamaldehyde is reported, for the first time, over CeO2, ZrO2, and CeO2-ZrO2-supported Pt catalysts. Cinnamyl alcohol is the selective product. These catalysts are highly active and selective even at 25 degrees C and found to be superior to most of the hitherto known supported Pt catalysts. Alkali addition (NaOH) has enhanced the performance of these catalysts. At an optimized reaction condition, 95.8\% conversion of cinnamaldehyde and 93.4\% selectivity of cinnamyl alcohol have been obtained. Acidity of the support (due to the presence of ZrO2 component) and higher electron density at Pt (due to CeO2 component) are attributed to be responsible for the superior catalytic activity of Pt supported on CeO2-ZrO2 composite material.

Pd or Pt promoted CeO2-ZrO2-supported Ni catalysts exhibited superior catalytic activity to the hitherto known Ni catalysts for liquid-phase hydrogenation of cinnamaldehyde at moderate conditions. Under similar experimental conditions, the unpromoted catalyst was selective for hydrocinnamaldehyde product (C=C hydrogenation) whereas the promoted catalyst yielded 3-phenyl propanol (C=C and C=O hydrogenation product). Enhanced dispersion of Ni was the cause for higher activity of the promoted Ni catalysts.

CuFe2O4 spinel oxide catalyst was synthesized by sol-gel and co-precipitation methods for liquid phase oxidation of Cinnamyl alcohol (CnOH) to Cinnamaldehydes (CnHO) using tert-Butyl hydroperoxide (TBHP) as oxidising agent. Spinel oxide catalyst was characterized by different techniques such as X-ray diffraction (XRD), N-2 adsorption-desorption, BET surface area, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) to understand the structural, physical properties and oxidation state of the catalyst. The result shows that catalyst prepared by sol-gel method was found higher surface area and smaller crystalline size than co-precipitation method. XPS data confirm the formation of Cu2+ in the spinel which helps to improve the catalytic activity of oxidation. This reaction follows radical mechanism, and exhibited 76.7 \% of CnOH conversion and 68.4 \% of CnHO, and 24.8 \% benzaldehyde (benzald) selectivity using TBHP at 60 degrees C. Kinetic data reveal that 41.2 kJ/mol of activation energy for the reaction. The higher activity of spinel oxide catalyst could be due synergetic effect of spinel (88 \%) and oxides (12 \%) formed in the catalyst, which helps to provide the oxygen during reaction. The contribution of Cu2+ is higher in sol-gel than co-precipitation, which may provide the better reactivity of catalyst. This work helps to select the effective and cost-effective catalyst for the oxidation of CnOH.

Nickel-doped lanthanum aluminium perovskite, LaAl1-xNixO3-delta with x = 0, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4,0.5, 0.6, and 0.75 (LANx), were obtained through a combustion method followed by a calcination process. The obtained LANx materials crystallized in the cubic structure by the Pm-3m (221) space group. The nanocrystalline nature of the LANx materials was confirmed by the average crystalline size determined using Debye-Scherrer formula. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) studies showed that nickel was present in the +2 and +3 oxidation states. The introduction of nickel resulted in distinct peaks in TPR in the temperature range of 200-600 degrees C, with an enhanced reducibility of the materials. The LANx materials were thoroughly assessed for their effectiveness in the hydrogenation of cinnamaldehyde. The maximum catalytic activity (cinnamaldehyde conversion of 98\% with a hydrocinnamylalcohol selectivity 96.5\%) was observed with the presence of the LAN7 catalyst at 150 degrees C for 6 h at a H2 pressure of 10 bar. The catalytic activity is maintained even after four cycles, which broadens the application scope as the material is sustainable, scalable, cost-effective, and a potential alternative to reported noble metal catalysts. The synergistic effect of nickel and oxygen vacancies in the catalyst improves the reducibility and provides a promising catalytic activity in the cinnamaldehyde hydrogenation.
