Bimetallic Pt-Re/ZrO2 catalysts were developed for the selective hydrodeoxygenation of 4-propylphenol as a lignin model to n-propylbenzene in water. The addition of Re to Pt/ZrO2 improved the catalyst stability and product selectivity. Reaction temperature greatly affected not only reaction efficiency but also product distribution. n-Propylbenzene was obtained in up to 73% yield with ca. 80% selectivity. After the reaction, the catalyst was deactivated possibly due to water-induced wrapping of Pt nanoparticles in ZrO2. The reaction may involve the hydrogenation of 4-propylphenol to 4-propylcyclohexanol, followed by the dehydration to give 4-propylcyclohexene and the subsequent dehydrogenation to n-propylbenzene.
