Abstract

Succinic anhydride (SAN), a C4 bulk chemical, is selectively produced from bio-based furans with a simple metalloporphyrin as the catalyst under visible light. Typically, 99% conversion of furfuryl alcohol with 87.7% selectivity toward SAN was obtained in the presence of zinc(II) tetraphenyl porphyrin (ZnTPP) as the photocatalyst. It is confirmed that the generation of singlet oxygen (1O2) plays a crucial role in the transformation of furanic derivatives.

Catalysis Science & Technology is committed to publishing research reporting high-quality, cutting-edge developments across the catalysis community at large. The journal places equal focus on publications from the heterogeneous, homogeneous, thermo-, electro-, photo-, organo- and biocatalysis communities. Works published in the journal feature a balanced mix of fundamental, technology-oriented, experimental, computational, digital and data-driven original research, thus appealing to catalysis practitioners in both academic and industrial environments. Original research articles published in the journal must demonstrate new catalytic discoveries and/or methodological advances that represent a significant advance on previously published work, from the molecular to the process scales. We welcome rigorous research in a wide range of timely or emerging applications related to the environment, health, energy and materials. Catalysis Science & Technology publishes Communications, Articles, Reviews and Perspectives. More details regarding manuscript types may be found in the Information for Authors section.
