CATALYTIC SYNTHESIS OF REDUCED FURAN DERIVATIVES
-
Paragraph 0061, (2014/11/13)
The present invention relates to catalytic synthesis of furan derivatives from alkoxymethylfurfural ethers or acyloxymethylfurfural esters. More particularly, the invention pertains to furan derivatives obtained by use of a multifunctional catalyst system to carry out both hydrogenation of furan starting material and hydrolysis of the reduced furan derivative in a single reaction. The process allows recovering and recycling of alcohol or acid from the reaction product.
