Highly selective low-temperature hydrogenation of furfuryl alcohol to tetrahydrofurfuryl alcohol catalysed by hectorite-supported ruthenium nanoparticles

2011, Khan, Farooq-Ahmad, Vallat, Armelle, Süss-Fink, Georg

Metallic ruthenium nanoparticles intercalated in hectorite (particle size ~ 4 nm) were found to catalyse the hydrogenation of furfuryl acohol to give tetrahydrofurfuryl alcohol in methanolic solution under mild conditions. The best results were obtained at 40 °C under a hydrogen pressure of 20 bar (conversion 100%, selectivity > 99%). After a total turnover number of 1423, the hectorite supported ruthenium nanoparticles are deactivated but can be recycled and regenerated.
