Popov, Yu. V.; Mokhov, V. M.; Nebykov, D. N.; Shirkhanyan, P. M.; Gendler, T. A.; Shemet, V. V. published the artcile< Colloidal and Nanosized Catalysts in Organic Synthesis: XXIV. Study of Hydrogenation of Furan and Its Derivatives in the Presence of MgO-Supported Nickel and Cobalt Nanoparticles>, Category: tetrahydrofurans, the main research area is furan hydrogenation nickel nanocatalyst plug flow reactor.
The processes of hydrogenation of furan and its derivatives (2-methylfuran, furfuryl alc., and furfural) in plug-flow type reactor under atm. hydrogen pressure at 20-220°C in the presence of supported nickel nanoparticles prepared via chem. reduction have been investigated. It has been found that nickel nanoparticles supported on magnesium oxide surface are the most reactive and stable under the considered conditions. This catalyst allows the corresponding hydrogenation products with 100% yield and complete conversion of the substrate.
Russian Journal of General Chemistry published new progress about Furans Role: RCT (Reactant), RACT (Reactant or Reagent). 97-99-4 belongs to class tetrahydrofurans, and the molecular formula is C5H10O2, Category: tetrahydrofurans.
