Copper-zinc alloy nanopowder: A robust precious-metal-free catalyst for the conversion of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural

Noble-metal-free copper-zinc nanoalloy (2. It is also possible to convert 10 wt % HMF solutions in CPME, with an excellent DMF yield of 90 %. Milder temperatures favor selective (95 %) formation of 2,5-furandimethanol (FDM). The one-pot conversion of fructose to valuable furan-ethers was also explored. Recycling experiments for DMF production show remarkable catalyst stability. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) characterization provides more insight into morphological changes of this intriguing class of materials during catalysis.

Etherification of biomass-derived furanyl alcohols with aliphatic alcohols over silica-supported nickel phosphide catalysts: Effect of surplus P species on the acidity

The acidity of nickel phosphide (Ni2P) catalysts plays a crucial role in producing a desired hydrodeoxygenation molecule from biomass-derived substrates; yet, it has never been explored in acid-catalyzed reactions. Herein, we demonstrated the activity of silica-supported Ni2P catalyst prepared with the nominal P/Ni ratio of 2 (Ni2P/SiO2-2P) in the etherification of furanyl alcohols (particularly, 5-(hydroxymethyl)furfural) with aliphatic alcohols including ethanol. By comparing the characteristics of Ni/SiO2, PxOy/SiO2, and Ni2P/SiO2-xP (x = 0.5 and 1), Ni2P/SiO2-2P was revealed to contain the Br?nsted and Lewis acid sites of which both contributed to the etherification reaction. Notably, the Br?nsted acidity was associated with the surplus P species added to produce the Ni2P phase. Consequently, supported Ni2P catalysts can work in acid-catalyzed reactions if an adequate ratio of Br?nsted to Lewis acid sites is provided by the amount of the surplus P species determined by adjusting the P/Ni ratio.

5-SUBSTITUTED 2-(ALKOXYMETHYL)FURANS

The present invention concerns a method for the manufacture of a 5-substituted 2- (alkoxymethyl)furan (or a mixture of such furans) by reacting a starting material comprising at least a 5-substituted furfural with hydrogen in the presence of an alcohol and a catalyst system
