Abstract

Hydrogenation of aldehydes with heterogeneous manganese catalysts is an appealing approach for producing alcohols. In this paper, we report a novel and robust MnO/PN-800 catalyst for the hydrogenation of versatile biomass-derived platform molecules in the presence of molecular hydrogen as a reductant. The effect of catalyst concentration, the operating hydrogen pressure, and the reaction temperature on the catalyst activity was investigated in detail. Under the mild reaction conditions, the full conversion of furfuraldehyde, 5-Methyl-2-furaldehyde, and 5-hydroxymethyl-2-furaldehyde (5-HMF) to their corresponding alcohols was achieved without any by-product formation. Additionally, other aromatic aldehydes bearing fluoro, chloro, and nitro moieties were also tolerated. The fresh and spent MnO/PN-800 catalyst was thoroughly characterized using XPS, powder-XRD, HR-TEM, N2 adsorption-desorption, and Raman spectroscopy. Noteworthy, the MnO/PN-800 catalyst can be recovered by centrifugation and then reused directly in the subsequent hydrogenation reactions. Importantly the synthetic utility of this protocol up to ∼5 g-scale is realized. Finally, our novel MnO/PN-800 nanocatalyst was successfully employed for the direct synthesis of furfuryl alcohol in high yields from raw sugarcane bagasse. We believe that these findings will help to advance the manganese-catalyzed hydrogenation reactions. © 2022 Elsevier B.V.
