Deskripsi

Selective hydrogenation of 5-(hydroxymethyl)furfural (HMF) to 5-Methylfurfural using H2 as reductant is very attractive, but remains challenging. Here, the authors report that isolated single atomic catalysts can catalyze the reaction efficiently with selectivity >99% at complete conversion of HMF.
