METHOD FOR THE ELECTROLYTIC CONVERSION OF FURAN OR FURAN DERIVATIVES

摘要

The invention relates to electrolytic conversion of at least one furanederivative (A) in an electrolytic circuit, comprising steps (i) and (ii): (i)electrolytic oxidation of furane or a substituted furane or a mixture of twoor more of said furanes to obtain (a) at least one furane derivative (B)exhibiting a C-C double bond in a heterocyclic five-membered ring and (b)hydrogen, (ii) hydrogenation of said C-C double bond using hydrogen obtainedfrom step (i) in a parallel process occurring at said cathode or external-source hydrogen added to said electrolytic circuit or electrocatalytichydrogenation. The invention is characterized in that said method is performedin an electrolysis cell which has at least one hydrogenation catalyst.
