1.7 Hydrogenolysis of Ethers

Abstract

Selective hydrogenolysis of ethers to alcohols and hydrocarbons is becoming possible with appropriate metal catalysts. Total removal of oxygen atoms from functionalized ethers to give alkanes, especially from furan derivatives toward biofuels, is catalyzed by a combination of metal and acid.

Key words

hydrogenolysis - hydrogenation - reduction - aryl ethers - unsymmetrical ethers - cyclic ethers - furan - biomass resources - biofuels
