One-pot transformation of levulinic acid to 2-methyltetrahydrofuran is facilely promoted by a H-beta-zeolite-supported Pt-Mo bimetallic catalyst in water without any additives. The Pt-Mo species efficiently promotes hydrogenation of levulinic acid to 1,4-pentanediol, which is subsequently dehydrated to form 2-methyltetrahydrofuran by H-beta zeolite in the aqueous phase. The Pt-Mo/H-beta catalyst is recoverable and reusable while retaining its high activity and selectivity.
