The effective dissociation of biomass-derived formic acid, as a sustainable hydrogen source, in water is explored for the hydrogenation of levulinic acid (LA) and quinoline. Ru decorated carbon nanoflakes prepared by car-boreduction (in Ar/H-2 atmosphere) of Ru containing N-doped carbon were used as catalysts. The successful formation of Ru-decorated N-doped carbons was confirmed by numerous spectroscopic tools. The catalyst exhibited outstanding activity and selectivity for the hydrogenation of LA and quinoline using formic acid as a hydrogen donor in water under mild conditions. The catalyst afforded 99.8% LA conversion and 100% selectivity for gamma-valerolactone (GVL), whereas 99.8% quinoline conversion and 93% selectivity for 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquino-line (THQ) were obtained. Recycling experiments suggested that the catalyst was stable even after the 5 cycles. Various controlled experiments and characterizations were conducted to demonstrate the structure-activity relations and suggest plausible reaction mechanisms for the hydrogenation of LA and quinoline. The exploration of formic acid as a sustainable H-2 source and the development of metal decorated N-doped carbons for hydrogenation of LA and quinoline will be fascinating to catalysis researchers and industrialists.
