“…For instance as previously reported, tetrahydrofurfuryl alcohol can be formed by CÀ ÀC bond cleavage of BHMTHF [59] and the hydrogenation of furfuryl alcohol, originating from HMF decarbonylation [54,55]. Both furfuryl alcohol and tetrahydrofurfuryl alcohol can undergo the ring-opening reaction leading to 1,2-pentandiol and/or 1,5pentandiol [56,[63][64][65]. On the other hand, also BHMTHF is prone to ring-opening reactions leading, in this case, to 1,2,6-hexanetriol [15,56,[65][66][67], which can be converted to tetrahydropyran-2methanol [20,66,67] through hydrogenolysis of the CÀ ÀO bond [53,65,66].…”
