Abstract
Noble metal free catalysts are urgently needed for catalytic transfer hydrogenation (CTH). Zr‐based metal‐organic frameworks (MOFs) show excellent catalytic activity towards the transformation of aldehydes to alcohols via the CTH route. Among the tested Zr‐MOFs with different pore size and acidic sites, MOF‐808 shows the best catalytic activity, selectivity, and stability for synthesizing nitrobenzyl alcohols due to the harmony of pore size and acidity, which completes the reaction in a short period under mild conditions.
期刊介绍:
Organic chemistry is the fundamental science that stands at the heart of chemistry, biology, and materials science. Research in these areas is vigorous and truly international, with three major regions making almost equal contributions: America, Europe and Asia. Asia now has its own top international organic chemistry journal—the Asian Journal of Organic Chemistry (AsianJOC)
The AsianJOC is designed to be a top-ranked international research journal and publishes primary research as well as critical secondary information from authors across the world. The journal covers organic chemistry in its entirety. Authors and readers come from academia, the chemical industry, and government laboratories.
