Abstract:The selective hydrogenation of benzofurans in the presence of a heterogeneous non‐noble metal catalyst is reported. The developed optimal catalytic material consists of cobalt‐cobalt oxide core–shell nanoparticles supported on silica, which has been prepared by the immobilization and pyrolysis of cobalt‐DABCO‐citric acid complex on silica under argon at 800 °C. This novel catalyst allows for the selective hydrogenation of simple and functionalized benzofurans to 2,3‐dihydrobenzofurans as well as related hetero… Show more
