Protonation Prerequisite in Selective Furfural Hydrogenation to Furfuryl Alcohol: A Kinetic Isotope Effect Study

Abstract The electrochemical hydrogenation of furfural (FF) to furfuryl alcohol (FA) offers a sustainable route for biomass valorization, but the mechanistic origins of FA selectivity─particularly the suppression of radical-mediated C–C coupling─remain insufficiently resolved. He...
