The hydrogeneative rearrangement of furfural to cyclopentanone via furfuryl alcohol has been studied over Pd catalysts supported on H-ZSM-5 zeolites. The optimization of Pd states, zeolite properties, and reaction conditions resulted in high selectivity and activity of the catalyst. The presence of Pd-zeolite acid sites showed a synergetic effect, enhancing the reaction rate. The identification of key intermediates in the reaction pathway was also achieved through spin trapping electron paramagnetic resonance experiments.
Aqueous phase hydrogenative rearrangement of furfural (FAL) to cyclopentanone (CPO) via furfuryl alcohol (FOL) has been studied over Pd catalysts supported on H-ZSM-5 zeolites. Pd states, zeolite properties and reaction condition parameters were optimized, affording 98% selectivity and 120 h-1 specific reaction rate over 2% Pd/H-ZSM-5(25) catalyst at 160 degrees C and 3 MPa H2. For hydrogenation of FAL-to-FOL, the activity was related to the Si/Al ratio and acid property of zeolite supports. For hydrogenative rearrangement of FOL-to-CPO, pure H-ZSM-5 zeolite could catalyze single-step conversion with relatively low reaction rate, whereas the presence of Pd sites could achieve multi-step transformation with remarkably increased rate, highlighting Pd-zeolite acid sites synergy. Proton and furanylmethoxy-relevant intermediates were captured with spin trapping electron paramagnetic resonance experiments, and 4-hydroxy-2-cyclopentenone and 2-cyclopentenone were also identified as key intermediates in tandem reaction pathway to produce CPO.
