Catalytic in-situ hydrogenation of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) to 2,5-dimethylfuran (DMF) has received a great interest in recent years. Different reaction parameters such as catalysts, reaction temperature, time, pressure, solvents and catalyst amount optimized to achieve the highest conversion o...
