Abstract

Abstract : A solvent-free gas-phase coupling process through hydrogen transfer without external hydrogen was conducted over novel bifunctional base-metal heterogeneous catalysts. Abstract : A solvent-free gas-phase coupling process through hydrogen transfer without external hydrogen supply over novel bifunctional base-metal heterogeneous catalysts was developed for the simultaneous production of γ-butyrolactone and furfuryl alcohol with high yields of 95.0% from biomass-derived compounds. Such a practical, unparallely efficient and environmentally benign process makes it promising in terms of both green sustainable chemistry and industrial perspective.
