Heterogeneous zirconia-supported ruthenium catalyst for highly selective hydrogenation of 5-hydroxymethyl-2-furaldehyde to 2,5-bis(hydroxymethyl)furans in various -alcohol solvents

5-Hydroxymethyl-2-furaldehyde (HMF) was hydrogenated to 2,5-bis(hydroxymethyl)furan (BHMF) (>99% yield) in various n -alcohol solvents using a Ru(OH) x /ZrO 2 catalyst. The TON and TOF for the hydrogenation were calculated to be 912 and 304 h −1 , respectively. 5-Hydroxymethyl-2-furaldehyde (HMF)...
