Abstract:
Catalysts useful for the selective hydrogenation of carbonyl groups, including for the reduction of aldehydes to alcohols, are described. The catalysts incorporate palladium and rhenium on an alumina support. Methods of making the catalysts, and methods of using the catalysts for the selective hydrogenation of furanyl 2-carbaldehydes to 2-furanmethanols, are also presented.
