Production of Sorbitol via Catalytic Transfer Hydrogenation of Glucose
Sorbitol production from glucose was studied through catalytic transfer hydrogenation (CTH) over Raney nickel catalysts in alcohol media, used as solvents and hydrogen donors. It was found that alcohol sugars, sorbitol and mannitol, can be derived from two hydrogen transfer pathways, one produced in...
