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 NiCu 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 NiCu/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.

Ni Cu / Al-SBA-15上糠醛-丙酮缩合产物催化转化为生物衍生的C ₈线性醇

使用非贵金属基催化剂首次实现了由糠醛-丙酮缩合产物生产C ₈直链二醇。特别是，SBA-15负载的Ni Cu双金属催化剂显示出最佳的氢化活性，达到了完全饱和产物的出色收率（约63％）。通过制备Ni Cu / Al-SBA-15引入酸度导致开环步骤的促进，这导致了C8线性二醇的显着收率（28％）。这些结果建立了一种生产具有成本效益的3d过渡金属基催化剂的生物基二醇的竞争性催化途径。
