Tetrahydrofurfuryl alc. (THFOL), a valuable biomass-derived chem., is an important precursor for producing linear diols and biodegradable solvents. Herein, we present the one-pot cascade conversion of xylose to THFOL over an Hβ zeolite-supported RuO2-Ru (RuO2-Ru/Hβ) catalyst. To elucidate the structure-property correlation of the RuO2-Ru/Hβ catalyst and achieve a high THFOL yield via sequential isomerization, dehydration, and hydrogenation, several synthesis methods, namely incipient wetness impregnation, reductive deposition, activated reductive deposition, and post-oxidative activated reductive deposition (ARD-O) were used. The best catalytic performance was obtained over the RuO2-Ru/Hβ-ARD-O catalyst. An almost complete conversion of xylose and a high THFOL yield of 61.8% were achieved after 1 h at 180°C under an initial H2 pressure of 3.0 MPa in THF. In-depth analyses of the RuO2-Ru/Hβ-ARD-O catalyst furfural (FFA)- and CO-probed diffuse reflectance IR Fourier transform spectra indicated the formation of RuO2 at the corner and edge sites of Ru nanoparticles. The direct conversion of FFA to THFOL at interfacial RuO2-Ru sites without furfuryl alc. (FOL) readsorption hindered the contact of FOL with the acidic support, which suppressed the formation of humin and other byproducts and led to a high THFOL yield.

Silva, Wesley R.; Matsubara, Elaine Y.; Rosolen, Jose M.; Donate, Paulo M.; Gunnella, Roberto published the artcile< Pd catalysts supported on different hydrophilic or hydrophobic carbonaceous substrate for furfural and 5-(hydroxymethyl)furfural hydrogenation in water>, Formula: C5H10O2, the main research area is palladium catalyst carbonaceous substrate furfural hydroxymethylfurfural hydrogenation water.

We hydrogenated furfural and 5-(hydroxymethyl)furfural (HMF) in water in a reaction catalyzed by Pd nanoparticles on carbonaceous materials with different morphol. and hydrophobic degree. The different Pd catalysts were prepared by dipping the carbonaceous material into a Pd0 micro-emulsion. The catalyst support affected the catalytic hydrogenation of furfural and HMF. By using micrometric active carbon (AC) combined with cup-stacked carbon nanotubes (CSCNTs) and Pd0/2+ nanoparticles (Pd), we obtained a micro/nanostructured material designated Pd/CSCNT-AC, which performed better than the other carbonaceous materials containing similar Pd nanoparticle loading. Pd/CSCNT-AC produced tetrahydrofurfuryl alc. from furfural with excellent selectivity (>99%). Unlike Pd on hybrophobic spheroid graphite or hydrophilic AC, Pd/CSCNT-AC hydrogenated both the C=O and C=C double bonds of furfural and catalyzed HMF hydrogenation at the C=O double bond more selectively: between 85% and 99% selectivity toward 2,5-dihydroxymethylfuran. We also investigated how temperature, hydrogen pressure, and reaction time affected HMF hydrogenation in water. Finally, Pd/CSCNT-AC was recycled several times without significant catalytic activity loss.

1,5-Pentanediol (1,5-PDO) is a feedstock for synthesis of polyesters and polyurethanes, and its selective production from furfural is a desirable route but very challenging. In this study, the production of 1,5-PDO from furfural was investigated over the Co-Mg-Al catalyst, containing abundant hydrogenation sites and basic sites. Using layered double hydroxides as the catalyst precursor benefited dispersion of metallic Co particles via preventing migration of cobalt species and developing pore structures. Furthermore, the Co-Mg-Al catalyst possessed abundant basic sites, rendering its superior catalytic activity to Co-Al or Co-Mg catalysts. In situ diffuse reflectance IR spectroscopy (DRIFTS) characterization for FA conversion demonstrated that the cooperation of abundant hydrogenation sites and basic sites facilitated a strong adsorption of C-O-C and carbon-carbon double-bond groups, which benefited the conversion of FA into diols.

The development of cost-effective heterogeneous catalysts for the selective conversion of biomass-derived platform chems. into value-added chems. and liquid fuels will pave the way towards the development of sustainable biorefineries. Herein, we perform in-depth optimization of the catalyst composition and exptl. conditions to selectively produce three important value-added chems. from furfural, including cyclopentanone, furfuryl alc., and tetrahydrofurfuryl alc. Results show that the Ni(10%)/CuFe2O4 catalyst affords cyclopentanone as a major product with >90% selectivity in water at 423 K and 1 MPa H2. Meanwhile, switching to non-aqueous solvents, including hexane, isopropanol, toluene, and ethanol, selectively produces tetrahydrofurfuryl alc. as a major product under identical reaction conditions. Over the Cu(10%)/CuFe2O4 catalyst, furfuryl alc. is produced as a major product in water at 393 K and 1 MPa H2. Control experiments over M/CuO, M/Fe3O4, and M/SBA-15 catalysts are also performed; however. these catalysts afford much lower conversion compared to the M/CuFe2O4 catalysts due to the higher Lewis acidity of the CuFe2O4 support. The physicochem. properties of these catalysts are characterized using powder XRD, HR-TEM, XPS, and pyridine FT-IR. Finally, based on the existing literature, plausible reaction mechanisms for the production of cyclopentanone, tetrahydrofurfuryl alc., and furfural alc. on M/CuFe2O4 catalysts are proposed. The present work provides insight into the development of cost-effective and efficient catalysts for the valorization of furfural under mild conditions.

Electrocatalytic palladium membrane reactors (ePMRs) use electricity and water to drive hydrogenation reactions without forming H2 gas. In these reactors, a hydrogen-permeable palladium foil phys. separates electrochem. proton generation in aqueous media from chem. hydrogenation in organic media. The authors report herein the use of the ePMR to electrolytically hydrogenate furfural, an important biomass derivative This system was proven to convert furfural into furfuryl alc. and tetrahydrofurfuryl alc. with 84% and 98% selectivities, resp. To reach these high selectivities, the authors designed and built an ePMR for high-throughput testing. Using this apparatus, the authors tested how different solvents, catalysts, and applied currents impacted furfural hydrogenation. The authors found that bulky solvents with weak nucleophilicities suppressed the formation of side products. Notably, these types of solvents are not compatible with standard electrochem. hydrogenation architectures where electrolysis and hydrogenation occur in the same reaction chamber. This work highlights the utility of the ePMR for selective furfural hydrogenation without H2 gas, and presents a possible pathway for helping to decarbonize the hydrogenation industry.

Gao, Guoming; Shao, Yuewen; Gao, Yong; Wei, Tao; Gao, Guanggang; Zhang, Shu; Wang, Yi; Chen, Qifeng; Hu, Xun published the artcile< Synergetic effects of hydrogenation and acidic sites in phosphorus-modified nickel catalysts for the selective conversion of furfural to cyclopentanone>, Recommanded Product: (Tetrahydrofuran-2-yl)methanol, the main research area is synergetic hydrogenation acidic phosphorus nickel catalyst furfural cyclopentanone.

Cyclopentanone (CPO) is a value-added chem. that can be produced from furfural via hydrogenation coupled with an acid-catalysis step. Developing an effective bi-functional catalyst remains a challenge to be overcome. In this study, phosphorus was introduced to Ni/Al2O3 to modify the distribution of acidic sites and to tailor the activity of the metal sites for hydrogenation, with the aim of developing an active and cost-effective transition-metal-based catalyst for the conversion of furfural to CPO. The results showed that phosphorus species could react with both alumina and metallic nickel, forming an AlPO4 phase and nickel phosphide species. The formation of the AlPO4 phase reduced the specific area of the catalyst and increased the abundance of acidic sites. The formation of nickel phosphide species (Ni2P, Ni3P, and Ni12P5) tailored the selectivity of the hydrogenation sites. Furfural was only hydrogenated to furfuryl alc. (FA), while further hydrogenation to tetrahydrofurfuryl alc. (TFA) was inhibited. The introduced acidic sites further catalyzed the conversion of the formed FA to CPO. The balanced distribution of the hydrogenation sites and the acidic sites, as well as their tailored activity for hydrogenation and acid-catalyzed reactions, was crucial for the selective conversion of furfural to CPO.

A Pd/UiO-66 catalyst was synthesized with well-dispersed Pd nanoparticles. The obtained catalyst was tested in the hydrogenation of furfural to tetrahydrofurfuryl alc. in various solvents, Water was the most suitable solvent. Pd/UiO-66 exhibited much higher activity than Pd/SiO2 and Pd/γ-Al2O3, completely converting furfural to tetrahydrofurfuryl alc. with 100% selectivity under mild conditions. The hydrogenation of C=O moiety in tetrahydrofurfural was rate-determining step. Static adsorption measurement indicated that the adsorption of furfural on UiO-66 was significantly stronger than that on SiO2 or γ-Al2O3, suggesting that the adsorption play an important role in the gas-liquid-solid furfural hydrogenation reaction.

Catalytic hydrogenation of furfural (FFL) to furfuryl alc. (FAL) is one of the pivotal reactions for biomass valorization. Herein, well-defined Cu nanoparticles of ~1.8 nm encapsulated within titanium silicalite-1 (TS-1) have been successfully prepared by an in situ encapsulation approach, which possesses significant advantages in metal dispersion and uniformity compared to the traditional wet impregnation method. After a Na ion-exchange process for modulation of the zeolite microenvironment, the obtained Na-Cu@TS-1 catalyst affords an enhanced activity and selectivity in the selective hydrogenation of FFL into FAL, with a FFL conversion of 93.0% and a FAL selectivity of 98.1% at 110°C, 10 bar H2, after a reaction time of 2 h. A turnover frequency value of 55.2 h-1 has been achieved, reflecting some of the highest activity for Cu-based heterogeneous catalysts under similar conditions. Comprehensive characterization studies reveal that the confined environment of the zeolite could not only provide the spatial restriction for metal particles but also induce an electronic interaction between encapsulated Cu nanoparticles and Ti species in Na-Cu@TS-1, which both lead to effective suppression of the metal aggregation and leaching during catalysis. Na species, added by the ion exchange, not only mediate the acid/basic property of the zeolite for suppressing the side reactions but also modulate the encapsulated Cu species into an electronic-rich state, facilitating the FFL hydrogenation. Deactivation of Na-Cu@TS-1 is primarily caused by Na leaching into the liquid phase, but activity can be almost restored after a Na readdn. process.

Furfural is one of the most important biomass-derived chems. Its large-scale availability calls for the exploration of new transformation methods for further valorization. Here we report on the direct, one-step conversion of furfural into 1,4-pentanediols (1,4-PeDs) using a combination of Amberlyst-15 and Ru-FeOx/AC catalysts. It is interesting to find that the introduction of a suitable amount of FeOx results in a great improvement in the dispersion of Ru and a decrease in the Lewis acidity. Both XPS and H2-TPR show that there is electron transfer from Ru to Fe, and the electronic interaction facilitates the reduction of both Ru and Fe species. When used in combination with Amberlyst-15, the Ru-6.3FeOx/AC catalyst afforded the best performance with a 1,4-PeD yield of 86%; by contrast, Ru/AC free of FeOx only gave levulinic acid as the major product, demonstrating the key role of the acid/metal balance in the one-pot conversion of furfural to 1,4-PeD. Moreover, such a dual catalyst exhibited excellent durability within 175 h time-onstream.

Kumar, Abhinav; Srivastava, Rajendra published the artcile< Pd-Decorated Magnetic Spinels for Selective Catalytic Reduction of Furfural: Interplay of a Framework-Substituted Transition Metal and Solvent in Selective Reduction>, Related Products of 97-99-4, the main research area is selective reduction furfural palladium magnetic spinel.

The reduction of functional platform chems., such as furfural, to industrially important chems. and fuel requires precise modulation of surface reactivity of the catalyst to obtain the desired reactivity and selectivity. In this study, the selective reduction of furfural (FAL) to furfuryl alc. (FOL) and tetrahydrofurfuryl alc. (THFA) is achieved by the transition metal interplay in the framework structure of magnetic spinels Fe3O4 and by modulating the reaction medium. Herein, FAL is selectively and quant. reduced to FOL in water at very mild reaction conditions over Pd-decorated CuFe2O4, whereas FAL is selectively converted to THFA in hexane at mild reaction conditions over Pd-decorated NiFe2O4, using H2 as an economical reducing agent. The Pd loading, reaction temperature, H2 pressure, and reaction time are minimized to obtain the best selectivity toward THFA. Different modes of FAL adsorption occur on CuFe2O4 and NiFe2O4 surfaces. Dissociative adsorption of H2 occurs on Pd sites to form Pd-H species, followed by transfer hydrogenation from Pd-H to FAL adsorbed on spinels, leading to the formation of FOL or THFA. Efficient magnetic recyclability and the hot filtration test show that the catalyst exhibits no significant loss in the activity even after five recycles. Catalysts exhibit very high activity, selectivity, and low activation energy, which are very attractive for academic and industrial points of view.
