Coupled dehydration and hydrogenation catalysis for one-pot conversion of saccharides into high-value furanic compounds
Abstract
, acid-metal bifunctional sites, porous frameworks), solvent effects, and modulation of reaction pathways to mitigate side reactions. Mechanistic insights into substrate-catalyst interactions, hydrogen transfer dynamics, and stability challenges are critically discussed. Furthermore, techno-economic barriers and scalability of integrated processes are analyzed, highlighting the balance between catalytic efficiency and sustainability. By bridging gaps in fundamental understanding and industrial applicability, this work provides a roadmap for optimizing coupled dehydration-hydrogenation systems to achieve high-yield, energy-efficient furan production from renewable feedstocks.
