Highly efficient synthesis of pentane-1,2,5 triol, a promising member of biorenewable C5 alcohols, has been achieved by gas-phase hydrogenation of the Achmatowicz intermediate derived from furfuryl alcohol. The hydrogenation was carried out on monocomponent or bicomponent Ni and/or Pt modified mesoporous silica catalysts. The process features the absence of hydrogenolysis of the furan ring and rendered 100% selectivity together with additional green chemistry benefits, such as mild and simpler solvent free technology that operates at atmospheric pressure. The bicomponent Ni/Pt modified mesoporous silica catalysts exhibited the highest catalytic activity, with 10Ni1Pt/KIT-6 being the most active, providing up to 100% conversion.

A simple method to remove selectively a benzyl group protecting a hydroxyl function in the presence of a benzylidene acetal by catalytic hydrogenolysis with Raney nickel is reported. This method was successfully applied to the synthesis of the C1-C14 fragment of dolabelides.

The hydrodeoxygenation of erythritol, xylitol, and sorbitol was investigated over a Pt-WOx/SiO2 (4 wt% Pt, W/Pt = 0.25, molar ratio) catalyst. 1,4-Butanediol can be selectively produced with 51% yield (carbon based) by erythritol hydrodeoxygenation at 413 K, based on the selectivity over this catalyst toward the regioselective removal of the C-O bond in the -O-C-CH2OH structure. Because the catalyst is also active in the hydrodeoxygenation of other polyols to some extent but much less active in that of mono-alcohols, at higher temperature (453 K), mono-alcohols can be produced from sugar alcohols. A good total yield (59%) of pentanols can be obtained from xylitol, which is mainly converted to C2 + C3 products in the literature hydrogenolysis systems. It can be applied to the hydrodeoxygenation of other sugar alcohols to mono-alcohols with high yields as well, such as erythritol to butanols (74%) and sorbitol to hexanols (59%) with very small amounts of C-C bond cleavage products. The active site is suggested to be the Pt-WOx interfacial site, which is supported by the reaction and characterization results (TEM and XAFS). WOx/SiO2 selectively catalyzed the dehydration of xylitol to 1,4-anhydroxylitol, whereas Pt-WOx/SiO2 promoted the transformation of xylitol to pentanols with 1,3,5-pentanetriol as the main intermediate. Pre-calcination of the reused catalyst at 573 K is important to prevent coke formation and to improve the reusability.
