Review
The production of C8 linear diols from a furfural-acetone condensation product has been achieved for the first time using a non-noble metal based catalyst. In particular, SBA-15 supported NieCu bimetallic catalyst showed the best hydrogenating activity reaching an outstanding yield (ca. 63%) of the fully saturated product. The incorporation of acidity by the preparation of NieCu/Al-SBA-15 resulted in the promotion of ring-opening steps, which led to a remarkable yield of C8 linear diols (28%). These results establish a competitive catalytic route for the production of bio-based diols over cost-efficient 3d transition metal-based catalysts.
