In a cross coupling reaction, in a case where a halogen atom is selected as the leaving group of the raw material compound, a harmful halogen waste forms as a by-product after the reaction, and disposal of the waste liquid is complicated and environmental burden is high. In a carbon-hydrogen activation cross coupling reaction which requires no halogen atom as the leaving group, although no halogen waste forms as a by-product, the reaction substrate is considerably restricted, and the reaction remains a limited molecular construction method. A method for producing an aromatic compound, which comprises subjecting an aromatic nitro compound and a boronic acid compound to a cross coupling reaction in the presence of a metal catalyst.

A biphasic solvent system for converting biomass to prepare 2,5-hexanedione and a one-pot process for catalytically converting biomass to prepare 2,5-hexanedione with said biphasic solvent system are provided. The process includes the steps of contacting and reacting a biomass raw material with a hydrogenation catalyst using hydrogen gas as a hydrogen source in a heterogeneous system formed from an organic solvent, an inorganic salt and water to obtain 2,5-hexanedione. The hydrogenation catalyst includes a hydrogenation active component and a support. The support is selected from one or more of hydrophobic active carbon and graphene. The process can achieve efficient conversion of biomass without the participation of acid catalysts, and have a very high selectivity for the product 2,5-hexanedione.
