Abstract
Although amorphous Pt nanocatalysts have excellent activity for chemoselective hydrogenation of cinnamaldehyde, the selectivity and stability need to be further enhanced. In this paper, adenine (A) was used as a structure reinforcer to enhance the chemical stability of Fe-L-aspartic (Fe-Asp) coordination compound. The modified Fe-Asp-A support was employed to load Pt nanoparticles, and the resulting amorphous Pt/Fe-Asp-A nanocatalyst exhibited excellent activity, selectivity and stability. Under 50 °C, the conversion of cinnamaldehyde to cinnamyl alcohol was 93.1 % with selectivity of 91.2 %. Moreover, the catalytic performance of amorphous Pt/Fe-Asp-A nanocatalyst kept unchanged after 10 cycles. The amorphous Pt/Fe-Asp-A nanocatalyst could open a new door for high-efficiency selective catalytic hydrogenation of α, β-unsaturated aldehydes.
