Heterogeneous Copper Catalysts in the Aqueous Phase Hydrogenation of Maltose to Sorbitol

A one-pot hydrogenolysis/hydrogenation reaction of maltose to two moles of sorbitol has been carried out over different supported Cu catalysts in water at 180 °C and 40 bar of H<sub>2</sub>. Only the catalysts supported on silicas were found to be effective in this reaction, giving up to...
