2 Materials and Methods General Methanol was distilled from CaH2 and THF from sodium/benzophenone under argon atmosphere. para-xylene was degassed and dried over 4Å molecular sieves. Liquid substrates were degassed by bubbling argon through the solution for 15 minutes. All other chemicals were obtained from Sigma-Aldrich or Alfa Aesar and were used without further purification. GC analysis for esters and for levulinic acid was performed on a Thermo Scientific Trace GC Ultra equipped with a Restek RTX-200 column (30 m x 0.25 mm x 0.5 µm). Temperature program: Initial temperature 50 C, hold for 4 min, heat to 130 C with 30 C/min, hold for 2 min, heat to 250 C with 50 C/min, hold for 9 min. Inlet temperature 200 C, split ratio of 60, 1 ml/min carrier flow, FID temperature 250 C. GC analysis for fatty acids and esters was performed on a Thermo Scientific Trace GC Ultra equipped with a Restek Stabilwax-DA column (30 m x 0.25 mm x 0.25 µm). Temperature program: initial temperature 40 C, heat to 175 C with 6 C/min, heat to 250 C with 50 C/min, hold for 18 minutes. Inlet temperature 280 C, split ratio of 40, 1.5 ml/min carrier flow, FID temperature 250 C. GC analysis for other acids except trifluoroacetic acid was performed on a Thermo Scientific Trace GC Ultra equipped with a Restek Stabilwax-DA column (30 m x 0.25 mm x 0.25 µm). Temperature program: initial temperature 40 C, heat to 175 C with 6 C/min, heat to 250 C with 50 C/min, hold for 5 minutes. Inlet temperature 280 C, split ratio of 40, 1.5 ml/min carrier flow, FID temperature 250 C. High resolution ESI-MS spectra were recorded on a JEOL AccuTOF LC-Plus JMS- T100LP spectrometer in THF or CH3CN at -30 C. 1 H, 13 C, and 19 F NMR spectra were recorded on a Bruker AMX400 or Bruker Advance II 300 MHz NMR spectrometer at 400 or 300 MHz, 125 or 100 Mhz, and 376 MHz or 282 MHz respectively. 1 H and 13 C spectra were referenced against residual solvent signal, 19 F spectra were referenced externally against CFCl3. EPR spectra were recorded on a Bruker EMXplus X-band spectrometer at 20K using liquid helium as the coolant. NMR analysis for trifluoroacetic acid was quantified via the integral of the singlet in the ppm region (TFA) and the triplet in the ppm region (TFE) compared to the integral of the internal standard, 1,4-bis(trifluoromethyl)benzene (singlet at -66 ppm, only used at higher catalyst loadings). Due to the paramagnetic nature of the cobalt catalyst, the signals can shift and therefore a second measurement with an additional amount of TFE was performed to ensure integration of the correct signal. Single Crystal X-ray Diffraction X-ray intensities were measured on a Bruker D8 Quest Eco diffractometer equipped with a Triumph monochromator ( = Å) and a CMOS Photon 50 detector at a temperature of 150(2) K. Intensity data were integrated with the Bruker APEX2 software (34). Absorption correction and scaling was performed with SADABS (35). The structures were solved with the program SHELXS-2013 (36). Least-squares refinement was performed with SHELXL-2013 (37) against F 2 of all reflections. Non-hydrogen 2

3 atoms were refined with anisotropic displacement parameters. The H atoms were placed at calculated positions using the instructions AFIX 13, AFIX 43, or AFIX 137 with isotropic displacement parameters having values 1.2 or 1.5 times Ueq of the attached C atoms.

Computational details Geometry optimizations were carried out with the Turbomole program package (38) coupled to the PQS Baker optimizer (39, 40) via the BOpt package (41). We used the BP86 functional (42, 43) in combination with the def2-tzvp basis set (44, 45), and a small (m5) grid size. Grimme s dispersion corrections (version 3, disp3) were used to include Van der Waals interactions (46). All minima (no imaginary frequencies) and transition states (one imaginary frequency) were characterized by calculating the Hessian matrix. ZPE and gas-phase thermal corrections (enthalpy, 373 K) from these analyses were calculated. The nature of the transition states was confirmed by following the intrinsic reaction coordinate. General catalytic procedure Cobalt(II) tetrafluoroborate hexahydrate, triphos, and the substrate (if solid) were weighed in air in a glass insert, which was placed in a 150 ml stainless steel autoclave. The autoclave was sealed and evacuated and refilled with argon twice. Liquid substrates (3.0 mmol) were dissolved in 20 ml distilled solvent (methanol or THF) together with 74 µl p-xylene (internal standard) and transferred to the autoclave under a flow of argon. The autoclave was flushed three times with 30 bar H2, pressurized to 80 bar H2 and heated to 100 C (internal temperature) using a preheated oil bath at 140 C. Samples were taken via a sample tube at regular intervals and analyzed via gas chromatography. With trifluoroacetic acid as the substrate, 1,4-bis(trifluoromethyl)benzene was used as the internal standard (at higher catalyst loadings) and the reaction mixture was analyzed via 19 F NMR spectroscopy using CD3OD as the solvent. Under solvent-less conditions, no internal standard was used. With butyric acid under solvent-less conditions a two-layer system was obtained after catalysis and 1,4-dioxane was added after the reaction to obtain a homogeneous mixture for analysis. For isolation of substituted benzyl alcohols, the reaction mixture was evaporated to dryness. To the resulting mixture 50 ml Et2O and 50 ml saturated Na2CO3 solution were added. The layers were separated, the aqueous layer extracted twice with 50 ml Et2O, the combined organic layers were dried over MgSO4 and evaporated to dryness. Further purification was performed using column chromatography (SiO2, EtOAc/hexane 1:2; for 3-hydroxybenzyl alcohol a 2:1 ratio was used). 3

4 For isolation of the 1-butanol/butyl butyrate mixture, the same procedure was used except for the use of distillation instead of column chromatography. 1-Butanol and butyl butyrate were found to be inseparable, probably due to azeotrope formation. 4
