Ruthenium Nanoparticles Intercalated in Montmorillonite (<i>nano</i>-Ru@MMT) Is Highly Efficient Catalyst for the Selective Hydrogenation of 2-Furaldehyde in Benign Aqueous Medium

Chemoselective hydrogenation of 2-furaldehyde to furfuryl alcohol using green solvents is an important research area to get eco-friendly fuels and fine chemicals. Herein, we report ruthenium nanoparticles (~1.8 nm) intercalated in montmorillonite as an efficient catalytic system, which can selective...
