Reductive Amination, Hydrogenation and Hydrodeoxygenation of 5‐Hydroxymethylfurfural using Silica‐supported Cobalt‐ Nanoparticles

Efficient and selective conversion of renewable feedstocks to essential chemicals fuels applying green sustainable catalytic processes is central importance attracts scientific interest. Among different biomass-based feedstocks, 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) represents valuable platform compound widely used for the synthesis chemicals, fuels, polymers. Here we report cobalt nanoparticles catalyzed reductive amination, hydrogenation hydrodeoxygenation HMF produce furan based primary, secondary tertiary amines including N-methylamines as well 2,5-bis(hydroxymethyl)furan, (5-methylfuran-2-yl)methanol selected N-, O-, S-containing heterocycles. Key success this valorization use reusable silica supported cobalt-based nanoparticles, which have been prepared by immobilization pyrolysis Co-terephthalic acid-piperazine MOF template on silica.
