Cadu, Alban published the artcileHomogeneous catalysed hydrogenation of HMF, SDS of cas: 258278-25-0, the publication is Green Chemistry (2018), 20(14), 3386-3393, database is CAplus.
Hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) was used as a bio-based feedstock for homogeneous metal-catalyzed hydrogenation. Several ligand classes and metals were employed to reduce the aldehyde and aromatic ring of HMF. The previously unknown homogeneous catalyzed hydrogenation of HMF to tetrahydrofuran-dimethanol (THFDM) was studied using different catalyst systems. NHCs and phosphites give higher trans/cis ratios (between 1 : 1.25 and 1 : 3.95) of the product THFDM, but low conversions of only up to 17% accompanied by up to 92% yield of bis(hydroxymethyl)furan at 10 bar H2 and 120°. Conversely, di-phosphine ligated ruthenium catalysts in up to 87% yield lead to the highest overall conversion but only moderate trans/cis ratios of only 1 : 3.1-1 : 5.
