Lignin-derived phenols are versatile precursors to a variety of chemicals or fuels that can be produced in high yields via catalytic hydrogenation.  Separate metal (Pt, Ni), acid and acid/metal (Pt-HY) bifunctional catalysts are employed to control the hydrogenation of phenol to give a variety of products in high yield.
