Selective ring-opening of furfuryl alcohol to 1,5-pentanediol over Pt/aluminosilicates
Biomass-derived diols are desired for the sustainable chemical manufacturing of textiles and plastics; synergy between Pt metal and acid sites in a Pt/amorphous silica-aluminate catalyst offers a selective and scalable route to 1,5-pentanediol.
