- Description
- Selective electrochemical conversion of Tetrahydrofurfuryl alcohol (THFA) was facilitated employing ??cyclodextrin (??CD) functionalized graphitic carbon nitride (GCN) based nanocomposite. The GCN bulk were obtained by subjecting melamine to pyrolysis and further the material was exfoliated to improve its optoelectronic properties. Non-covalent attachment of ??CD over GCN via ultrasonication creates reactive surface sites on the electrode (??CD/GCN/CFP) facilitating a better host-guest interaction. The cyclic voltammetry and chronoamperometry techniques were employed to investigate the reaction mechanism (qualitative) and kinetics (quantitative) respectively of 2,2,6,6-Tetramethyl-1-piperidinyloxy (TEMPO) mediated electrochemical oxidation of THFA. Further, on subjecting the reaction mixture to bulk electrolysis, the desired product was isolated with yield of 78%. The enhanced efficacy, stability and repeatability of the developed heterogenous catalyst aims to surpass all other conventional synthesis of Tetrahydrofurfural (THFF). 2022 Elsevier Ltd
