Carbonate-Catalyzed Room-Temperature Selective Reduction of Biomass-Derived 5-Hydroxymethylfurfural into 2,5-Bis(hydroxymethyl)furan

Abstract: Catalytic reduction of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF), deemed as one of the key bio-based platform compounds, is a very promising pathway for the upgrading of biomass to biofuels and value-added chemicals. Conventional hydrogenation of HMF is mainly conducted over precious metal catalysts with high-pressure hydrogen. Here, a highly active, sustainable, and facile catalytic system composed of K2CO3, Ph2SiH2, and bio-based solvent 2-methyltetrahydrofuran (MTHF) was developed to be efficient for the reduction of H… Show more

“…If we consider the overall assessment of renewable carbon content, NPUs were synthesized from starting mixtures consisting of BHMF, 1,6-hexanediol, meso -erythritol, and HDI. Among these reagents, BHMF, 1,6-hexanediol, and meso -erythritol can be derived from renewable biomass . Therefore, the renewable carbon content in the NPUs can be evaluated as the total 10 carbons per unit formula, which is around 16% out of unit molar mass.…”

“…Furthermore, the Yang group applied carbonate-mediated hydrosilylation of carbonyls to the selective reduction of biobased derivatives like furfural and 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF). 69,70 In the case of HMF, the hydrosilylation was achieved by using Ph 2 SiH 2 in the presence of potassium carbonate at rt. As a result, 2,5-bis(hydroxymethyl)furan was isolated in excellent yield (94%).…”

“…This catalytic process is very attractive using hydrosilanes as hydrogen source, which are very stable in water and air, and can be activated to produce silyl ethers that can be converted to alcohol and silanol via hydrolysis with an acid/base catalyst or activator under relatively mild conditions (Revunova and Nikonov, 2015; Muthukumar et al, 2016). Long et al (2018) reported that potassium carbonate, an abundant, readily available, and cost-effective salt, could catalyze the hydrogenation of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural into BHMF at room temperature using Ph 2 SiH 2 as H-donor in the presence of bio-based solvent 2-methyltetrahydrofuran, giving a good BHMF yield of 94% after 2 h (Table 4, entry 1). However, using Ph 2 SiH 2 as hydrogen source not only tends to produce high molecular weight by-products, such as silanols that are detrimental to product separation, but also its reserve is not too much due to the relatively expensive price (Zhao et al, 2014).…”

“…Over the past several decades, different types of heterogeneous catalysts and advanced methods have been explored to catalyze the hydrogenation of bio-based furanic aldehydes to alcohols (Chen et al, 2014a). Several research groups are currently studying this reaction using various noble metals, such as Pd (Audemar et al, 2014; Li et al, 2018c), Pt (An et al, 2013; Shi et al, 2016), and Ru (Nishimura et al, 2014; Yuan et al, 2015b), non-noble metals, such as Cu (Lesiak et al, 2014; Upare et al, 2018) and ferrous metals (Fe, Ni, Co) (Yao et al, 2014; Yu et al, 2015; Halilu et al, 2016), solid acid-base catalysts, and alkali metal salt catalysts [e.g., K 2 CO 3 (Long et al, 2018), Cs 2 CO 3 (Long et al, 2019) and KF (Wu et al, 2018; Zhao et al, 2018)] for the catalytic upgrading of biomass-derived furanic aldehydes to alcohols.…”
