Green Chemistry Principle 9 states that catalytic reagents are superior to stoichiometric reagents. Which of the following reactions follow this principle and employ the given reagent catalytically?

a) Alkene oxidation with osmium tetroxide (OsO₄)

B) Alcohol oxidation with pyridinium chlorochromate (PCC)

c) Ketone reduction with lithium aluminum hydride (LiAlH₄)

D) Meerwein-Ponndorf-Verley type reduction of ketones with aluminum alkoxides

A partnership project between Alaska Airlines and Northwest Advanced Renewables Alliance (NARA) has produced a bio-jet fuel from wood-residuals that will be used in a commercial flight in the next few months. The process converts cellulose from wood residuals to simple sugars, which is then fermented to isobutanol as the starting point for jet fuel. Isobutanol has many advantages over ethanol (a common starting molecule for bio-based fuels); which of the following is NOT an advantage of isobutanol?

A) Can be transported via pipeline

B) Is a typical yeast byproduct

C) Does not react with water

D) Can be used to make other valuable products (eg. Polymers, solvents, rubber)
