Oxidation-State-Modulated Cobalt Catalysts for Ambient Selective Hydrogenation of Bio-Derived Aldehydes: Toward Bio-Based Polyesters

Abstract Selective hydrogenation is a crucial process in the synthesis of chemical intermediates. Here, we report the efficient hydrogenation of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) to 2,5-bishydroxymethylfuran (BHMF) over N-doped C-supported cobalt catalysts (CoNC) derived from ZIF-67...
