One pot conversion of furfural to -valerolactone by transfer hydrogenation has been achieved over bifunctional Zr and TPA located in mesoporous silica catalysts. Different catalysts with TPA and ZrO2 located...
The [Ru(dppbz)(CO)2Cl2] (dppbz = 1,2-bis(diphenylphosphino)benzene) complex serves as an useful precursor for the synthesis of new complexes, and also as an efficient pre-catalyst for catalytic transfer-hydrogenation and Oppenauer oxidation.
