Carbon-encapsulated Fe3O4 (Fe3O4@C) catalysts were prepared by a solvothermal method using glucose as the carbon source and their physicochem. properties were characterized via various anal. techniques. Catalytic transfer hydrogenation of furfural over Fe3O4@C catalysts was investigated with isopropanol as the solvent and hydrogen donor. The Fe3O4@C catalysts exhibited high catalytic furfural transfer hydrogenation activity, selectivity of furfuryl alc., and high reusability. The mechanism of catalytic transfer hydrogenation of furfural by Fe3O4@C obeys the Meerwein-Ponndorf-Verley reduction on a Lewis acid site (Fe3O4).
New Journal of Chemistry published new progress about Meerwein-Ponndorf-Verley reduction. 97-99-4 belongs to class tetrahydrofurans, and the molecular formula is C5H10O2, SDS of cas: 97-99-4.
