CATALYST FOR PREPARING 1,2-PENTANEDIOL AND METHOD FOR PREPARING 1,2-PENTANEDIOL BY USING SAME

摘要

The present disclosure relates to a catalyst for preparing 1,2-pentanediol from furfural and/or furfuryl alcohol, and more particularly to a catalyst, which is configured such that a catalytically active metal containing both at least one transition metal and tin (Sn) is supported on a basic support and is capable of increasing reaction selectivity for 1,2-pentanediol, and a method of preparing 1,2-pentanediol using the same.
