Abstract
Copper chromite is decorated with iron carbide nanoparticles, producing a magnetically activatable multifunctional catalytic system. This system (ICNPs@Cu2 Cr2 O5 ) can reduce aromatic ketones to aromatic alcohols when exposed to magnetic induction. Under magnetic excitation, the ICNPs generate locally confined hot spots, selectively activating the Cu2 Cr2 O5 surface while the global temperature remains low (≈80 °C). The catalyst selectively hydrogenates a scope of benzylic and non-benzylic ketones under mild conditions (3 bar H2 , heptane), while ICNPs@Cu2 Cr2 O5 or Cu2 Cr2 O5 are inactive when the same global temperature is adjusted by conventional heating. A flow reactor is presented that allows the use of magnetic induction for continuous-flow hydrogenation at elevated pressure. The excellent catalytic properties of ICNPs@Cu2 Cr2 O5 for the hydrogenation of biomass-derived furfuralacetone are conserved for at least 17 h on stream, demonstrating for the first time the application of a magnetically heated catalyst to a continuously operated hydrogenation reaction in the liquid phase.Entities:

Figure 5Continuously operated hydrogenation of furfuralacetone using ICNPs@Cu2Cr2O5 and magnetic induction. a) Simplified schematic representation of the continuous flow miniplant; b) catalytic results. Reaction conditions: the experiment was carried out in a continuous flow miniplant, with 500 mg of the ICNPs@Cu2Cr2O5 catalyst. Substrate 1 (0.05 mol L−1 in heptane) was pumped with a flow rate of 0.1 g min−1 and mixed into a flowing stream of H2 (0.001 g min−1). The magnetic field amplitude was set to 42 mT (350 kHz) and the system pressure was kept at 5 bar. WHSV=0.1 h−1 (0.1 g min−1). Liquid residence time=8.2 min. Product yield determined by a calibrated online GC‐FID. H2 conversion=3 %.
