Key words

copper catalysis - hydrogenation - aldehydes - alcohols - nanoparticles

Significance

Copper nanoparticles encapsulated in a zeolitic imidazole framework (CuNPs@ZIF-8), prepared as shown in equation 1, catalyzed the hydrogenation of aromatic aldehydes with hydrogen gas to give the corresponding alcohols in yields of 94–99% (eq. 2; 8 examples).


 

Comment

The CuNPs@ZIF-8 catalyst was characterized by means of XRD, XPS, AES, TEM, and HR-TEM analyses. In the hydrogenation of 5-(hydroxymethyl)furfural, the catalyst was recovered and reused four times without loss of its catalytic activity.
