Reaction Conditions:
with formic acid;sulfuric acid;Pd/C in tetrahydrofuran;
Steps:
6
This example demonstrates that a catalytic amount of a strong acid is necessary for hydrogenolysis of formate esters generated from furfuryl alcohol and benyl alcohol. Neither alcohol underwent hydrogenolysis in the presence of formic acid and Pd/C in THF. However, addition of catalytic amounts of sulfuric acid (0.065 equivalents/ROH) to such solutions resulted in clean conversions to 2-methylfuran and toluene.
