Hydrogenation of n-octanoic acid over the MoPt alloy of Mo–Pt/SiO2 catalyst under solvent-free conditions

Abstract

SiO2-Supported bimetallic Mo and Pt worked as an effective heterogeneous catalyst for hydrogenation of n-octanoic acid at a low temperature of 373 K in the absence of solvent, providing 78% yield of hydrogenated products (62% yield of 1-octanol and 32% yield of octyl octanoate). Based on the catalyst characterization, MoPt alloy (Mo/Pt = 1) was formed by high-temperature reduction and was proposed to be the active site for the reaction.
